I'm guessing that these would be all rentals, does St. Jamestown really need more rentals? I mean really!?!

I'm in favor of rebuilding that No Frills though... it's a disaster in there.

I love how the rendering shows fashionably-dressed white people enjoying roof-top amenities. Yup, that's what it will be like.

I lived on the 21st floor of 545 Sherbourne back in the early 90's and the fire department would pull up on Bleecker Street, in front of 200 Wellesley, at least twice a night. I wonder how the proposed residents of the town homes on Bleecker will like that?

Bed bugs and roaches need bridges too!

The plan.

No they don't.

They are rebuilding it: better, faster and stronger.

Good store!! Where are you from? It's a horrible store in so many levels. TEAR IT DOWN!
I will gladly pay more for groceries to not have to deal with the lack of choices, the pile up of grocery carts, the lack of merchandise, the unhelpful staff. I go only because of convenience since its across the street.
Otherwise I stop on the way at any other store I pass.
There is always that other store on Wellesley if you want chaos.

So catty!
Bed bugs have been found in some of the most luxurious hotels in NY as well. They don't discriminate.

There is nothing wrong with rentals. Its the subsidized lower income rentals and the Toronto Housing that are a problem.
These buildings have raised their rents in the last couple of years and I am sure will continue to do so as the demographics change with the redevelopement.
