Councillor Bob Bratina, my comment wasn't a direct knock against you personally, I just think it would be more helpful if the city stopped trying to "shape" development and just let the buying public decide what buildings should be built. Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to city documents, the max height of a building in the downtown is 55 metres. Why is this the case?

What is wrong with a city having skyscrapers? Like you have said before, Hamilton is a city and not a village. Cities are supposed to have skyscrapers? Furthermore, this height restriction seems to me to be symbolic of the city's inability to grow. I think most people on this site would love to see a few outrageously tall structures, it would give the city it's mojo back.
