Not sure why it has to be a zero sum choice between no development or taking any garbage that developers throw our way. This sort of tacit acceptance of mediocrity is precisely why most of our urban environments outside of a small handful of cities are so ugly; and more broadly, why Canada is floundering as a country.
"Good enough" or "better than an abandoned building" just shouldn't cut it for a multi-millon dollar development in a prime location in the downtown of one of our major cities.
