Same and I’ve only been to TO a dozen times. Etobicoke?

Not an architecture guy, can someone explain what might empower a person to create such a design?

Pretty simple. They want space and can't build out so they built up. I personally like that style. I'd live there.

It’s no worse than its neighbors. Looks like it might be multifamily, too, in which case it’s a big improvement. The lack of a driveway and garage is also a plus.

The building design in and of itself isn't all that bad IMO, but compared to the houses next door (and probably the entire street) it sticks out like a sore thumb.

This would be fine if it was next to other rowhomes

I don’t see the problem with it, it has more space vertically preserving space around it
