it's happening again.

150 Main West complex was proposed to look like this:

transparent and blue-tinted glass.
Instead they are installing glass as we speak and it's gross dark brown. Just what our skyline needs.

There's a reason Vancouver outright banned dark glass during it's building boom the past 30 years. This is Canada. We need light, airy, welcoming buildings in our cities, not more drab grey, brown and darkness.

Here's another that proposed a light-coloured glass:

And here's what we got. Welcome to the 1980's USSR:

When will the city start enforcing the drawings and renderings that are presented when buildings are approved??
We need a ban on dark glass, like Vancouver, immediately.
