Dartmouth, Halifax, and maybe it is too late for Argyle, downtown. Hard to allow noise next to the suites hotel they built on Argyle... what a shame. That is going to be a very tough issue to negotiate.

I hate faux too, but I have to disagree... those 50's style houses just don't fit in that area. There are a ton of massive original houses that are so I honestly think more of these smaller houses should be replaced with bigger ones to make it more cohesive.
You seem to be judging a bit here as to how big a house should be... this is an area of mansions around Young Ave. Some of the new designs are very suburban, but they can't be as bad as the bungalows they replace.
