As to the ghastly Onni development, I can only describe it as an informed exercise in bad taste. How dreadful for the residents on Bayview to face onto such a horror. No wonder the complex is practically empty.

The opportunity to build a series of buildings in-keeping with the rest of Steveston is lost for now. Perhaps if the Onni horror remains empty, it can be demolished and we can start again.
