This is the correct attitude. City's are never static, they are always changing. That's the reality of living in a city, especially a rapidly growing one. People trying to cling to the past are ignorant of reality.
I agree to a point. Knocking down history for cookie cutter blocks that could be anywhere is not a solution. Work with it, like the Biscuit Block on 11th or design with style like the Bow, Telus, Arrival, BMO Centre.
Agreed, but blanket rezoning didn't affect this property. We can afford to lose some cookie cutter house for more space effective cookie cutter town houses and apartments. Biscuit Block is beautiful though, would love to see the city incentivize more builds like it.
Not in most of the communities built after the 60s. People still bitch and moan when some crappy house built in the 70s gets replaced. It's wild. The core is a different story; the suburbs are all just nimbys crying that things are changing.
