Too bad, so sad.

This tends to be my opinion on it too...
Great, some early entrants got in decades ago and are now living in the heart of Centretown for $500/mo while a block away, I pay $1900. If we're talking about fairness, where's the fairness in that?
The other aspect is retail - if we want to get serious about improving vibrancy in Centretown we can't have entire blocks on major streets like Bank almost entirely vacant of retail tenants.
It's easy to feel bad for those being displaced, but overall projects like this align with our goals as a city in terms of housing and revitalization.
Not to mention, someone in that building loves illegally feeding wildlife, leading to toxic pigeon sh*t blanketing the sidewalk and street.
