It's funny with Vancouver - the mountains are beautiful (if there is Sun or clear skies to see them) but the city looks so old. Last Century. much still looks so 1980s except now the concrete just looks crumblier/damper now.

At least it has some Trump Towers going up making at least 2 modern great new things to look at.

However beautiful the architecture, any Trump Tower is made ugly by its association with the Donald!

The Donald is awesome and associated with winning huge. Which is something 1000's of Vancouverites desperately want to be part of and associated with, for sure.

Yup, glad that Trump tower is not ugly like the one in Toronto.

Just googled it and ya the Toronto one is .. meh.. somehow the cap thing doesn't look right. At least its not another giant dull rectangle and at least it has a 'top'. A Hat.

This reminds me of Vancouvers David Burner who so often complained about one of Vancouver's most ugly attributes - they don't have 'hats' on buildings. Tops. So basically it just looks like they were constructed to whatever height and stopped. Often three is pipes, water, service, whatever just sticking out up top. It looks like Vancouver just has many many unfinished high-rises or skyscrapers. Put some kind of top on your buildings!

But not thrilled with the Toronto topper. It's like it could seem cool 'on paper' or something but ends up not quite right/weird ugly somehow
