The debate on this issue has been great to see. I myself have come around to the ideas peresented in the earlier article and gained an appreciation for nuanced urban design issues beyond my brash desire to see increased transit-oriented infill.

But big picture to me, this whole exercise clearly demonstrates that existing development rules are fundamentally broken, and that serious community engagement is needed to get a new package of zoning rules in place in the downtown core and other areas slated for intensification in the Official Plan. It really seems like time is ripe for an exercise like Buffalo's Green Code zoning reforms to plan for height, parking, and other issues.

Edited because I need to learn that writing on an iPad sucks.
