More MCC awfulness?

There are already enough reasons to criticize MCC before including the stuff surrounding it.
Point is, there were only 4 office buildings and Square One in MCC in 1982. Everything else was built after, as greenfield development, not redevelopment. I see little in common with Burnaby's Metrotown.
Here's Mississauga City Centre in 1978. Compare with that 1982 picture of Metrotown that Pinion posted:

I call it MCC because you are the first person out of many, many people to say it isn't.
It really doesn't matter to me that MCC was a greenfield 35 years ago and Burnaby was a village because, I don't think that has, in any way, lead to either cities choosing the form of subdivision and highrise development over the course of those decade.
