Unpopular opinion....
You're opinion's popular with me. I like a few tall towers here and there for skyline enhancement and the appearance of urban fabric, but these smaller projects do so much to make an area feel nice.Unpopular opinion....
I prefer mid-rise developments more than I prefer high-rise residential developments. To me, a mid-rise feels cozy and fits into an existing neighborhood well and the beauty of a 6 story mid-rise is that it's cheaper to build and maintain over time.

-No emergency generator is required
-No fire pump for the sprinkler system is required
-Simpler elevator system
I don't think this is unpopular. The nicest inner city neighbourhoods in most North American cities usually don't have many high rises. Neighbourhoods like Kitsilano in Vancouver or Queen West in Toronto and of course Kensington/Mission/Inglewood/Marda in Calgary.Unpopular opinion....
