I'm touched; I think of you too PE. Though.... ' days I couldn't live without you'.... ...maybe a bit much. LOL *** Thanks for updating the title.

This is fairly nice........ It appears to come from The Studio JCI of yesteryear, the one that knew what colour and warmth were. Is someone back from parental leave? 206 units to 3 elevators is 1 elevator per 69 units Unit sizes are mostly decent, 3 beds could be a bit bigger (they're...

Right, Albert and I had obviously forgotten...... because the title wasn't updated to reflect that. Hmmm, you know who could fix that, other than @Paclo? The person who started the thread...... Ahem. LOL

Three is a bi-directional Bike Lane along the length of both Street A and Street B as marked on the graphic above. They are beside the sidewalks, rather than in the paved road area. From the image of Street B above: (close-up and enlargement by me) The cycle track is the green...

If it could be done well, density next to a GO Station could make sense. Or along a major road. But here, the contact with both (the GO Station and King Road) is minimal, at the fringes, meaning this makes far less sense, vs densifying right at the Station on its parking lots and having...

I wasn't criticizing the post at all. Just having some fun.

Reaper, you've become a cynic in your old (err, not yet middle) age)....

On total debt, we're at 111% debt to GDP; the U.S. is at 124% (prior to this year). Now, you're right, if we look at deficit, the combined federal + prov. numbers are in the range of 3.7% in Canada, whereas the U.S. federal number is ~8%

To give a visual on size, Toronto Forestry's Social Account (NECP unit) put out these: This is a 30cm DBH tree This is 50cm

I disagree with lowering the threshold. Lets be clear here, the existing standard is not actually used to protect gorgeous mature trees, its instead used as a money-making operation by forestry to fund feather-nesting. You let the trees go, but you charge money for the permit and for...

I'm not for mindless bashing of the U.S. or excess conceit here, given that Canada has many shortcomings in need of addressing. Still, I have a distaste for one sided lists. So, the U.S..also Leads in prisoners per capita in the OECD at 542 per 100,000, that's 80'ish more than the next...

Good observations. But not sure I agree with the conclusion, exactly. But first, let me add my own observation, obvious deficiencies aside, the stairs and corridor have relatively new granite tiles. So an investment in repair was made not that long ago; though clearly not to everything...

Nope. New retail. *** Though there is some action here still behind the scenes; but I'd be as surprised as @AlbertC if Zinc was the one to deliver a result there. The only reason I might believe that is, if there's one thing they're worse at than building its selling. LOL

Just noticed this post. *** To answer, nope. No sign of any activity at the OLT or Council.

Huh, there was a resubmission here back in June 2024. I only made note of it, because I saw some fresh lobbying activity. No new docs since..........but I imagine some may be forthcoming. However, the last iteration involved material changes. Its is currently still 'under review'...
