3 highrises not a 'village'

Dear Editor: So the District of North Vancouver mayor and council have approved the Seylynn Village development. We're now stuck with this ghastly, unimaginative homage to densification.

Dear Editor:

So the District of North Vancouver mayor and council have approved the Seylynn Village development. We're now stuck with this ghastly, unimaginative homage to densification. The charm and character of the North Shore has been traded for three gargantuan monoliths of concrete and windows - the tallest being a relentless 32 storeys. Around 2,000 people will live in 5.7 acres.

This development is no more a "village" than a cat is a cow.
