All the stuff you've written genuinely supports my point. With all of those safeguards in place, the plan is moving forward for that church to improve its facility while keeping the frontage facing James in keeping with the aesthetic of the street.

Same goes for the gore park buildings. By law, the developer is under no obligation to keep those buildings standing. It sucks, you wish the heritage comittee had been on top of it back in the day, but such is the situation. The developer is given some heritage dollars in order to get him to rebuild the facade. A bit of a twist on the meaning of "heritage dollars", I know, but it saves the look of gore park and the developer gets to use the space to make his millions(or lose them, whatever). People like you need to realize that this is a best case scenario, and that the developer has no obligation to oblige. AND you need to realize that even though it took a lot of pressure, his giving in to this solution means he cares about the city and what's important us(even if it's cause he wants to make a buck off us).
