Yeah loads of that in the GTA these days. That 84 storey building in Mississauga is just overkill. I'd rather see the really tall stuff in the downtown area where it belongs.

Mississauga has really weird urban design in general. Everything surrounds a massive mall with a giant surface parking lot. Giant towers that look out of place with streets designed for a suburb and unpleasant to walk on. Single family homes two blocks over. Suburban style office buildings with large surface parking with a surface LRT the only rapid transit being built.

Apologies if this has been discussed, only follow this thread sporadically. What do we think happens with the alpha house on the corner of 1st/15th. Another randomly placed social service that, I can attest, has negatively impacted that entire block

Pretty sure they have no plans to leave. Too many of their "clients" harassing rich people and tourists may change that, but it would take a few years. Alpha House is an unfortunate necessity, they do good work with very difficult people.

correct, its just the splintering of social services over a downtown.
