I totally support Atwood!  Although I don't live in the Annex, I do live in Bloor West Village.  For all those who doubt that an eight story can destroy a neighbourhood, visit Grenadier Square near High Park.  What was at one time a nice mix of high rises (25 story) and town houses, preserving the neighbourhood feel of the area, is now becoming yet another dense canyon of high rises.  Two high rises are going up now with a request for another seven - you read that correctly - seven high rises.  This has come about by incompetent city planners, an equally incompetent and out-of-her league city councilor, and the OMB.  You want to destroy a livable city, ignore issues such as trees, parks, wind tunnels, restrictions on how much sun will reach the street, a jam packed TTC and so on.  Just build irrespective of location and watch developers and insurance companies who are building these towers get richer while the city ultimately becomes poorer. Where are changes to the OMB promised by QP?
