    Can we stop using the term "world class" when talking about improving Toronto?

    A colleague suggested I did a search on Google Trends, and it turns out we're pretty interested in the term, but on par with New York and London. Singaporeans, on the other hand, they are truly obsessed!

    Can we stop using the term "world class" when talking about improving Toronto?

    The Economist just ranked Toronto as the city with the 4th best quality of life in the World http://www.thestar.com/business/2014/08/19/melbourne_wins_tops_most_liveable_city_ranking_three_canadian_cities_in_top_10_list.html Forbes also recently named Toronto as the 10th most influential...

    Toronto Union Subway Station: Second Platform and Concourse Improvements | ?m | ?s | TTC | IBI Group

    Same thing in Spain and Chile, where I've lived, and most of the Spanish-speaking countries, if I'm not mistaken. "Línea 4, Dirección Argüelles", "Línea 1, Dirección Los Dominicos", and so forth, very practical when you have lines that don't roughly follow a straight line North/South...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    The police officer (at least he looked like one) had a bagde or something similar that read "Transit Enforcement", and they all got off together and walked together for a couple of blocks. https://www.ttc.ca/Riding_the_TTC/Safety_and_Security/Transit_Enforcement_Unit.jsp "TTC Transit...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I didn't see anybody being reprimanded, so probably everybody had a transfer. It wasn't a very busy time and the streetcar was almost empty.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I just encountered a team of fare inspectors on the Queen Streetcar, 5 in total (two standing next to the rear doors, two next to the middle doors, and one that I think was a police officer next to the front door). Nobody was given a ticket in the 10 minutes they were there, but they cause quite...

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I can't believe I'm quoting user "Socialism is Evil" on the Star's comments section, but that the GTAA feel "entitled to parking revenue as a right" is exactly what it is. I don't even own a car! If I'm ever taking this train, they wouldn't have lost any parking revenue from me, I always take...

    Toronto Riverside Square | 64.6m | 20s | Streetcar | RAW Design

    @ TheKingEast Maybe I lucked out, but I read the comments you mentioned, and although I concur with the sentiment that the counters were almost non-existing, and the sliding bedroom door is less than ideal for privacy when you have people crashing in your living room (sadly, both things seem to...

    Toronto Riverside Square | 64.6m | 20s | Streetcar | RAW Design

    I lived in Streetcar's Trinity Lofts for a year, and other than some imperfections on the ceiling (which they took care of) construction was pretty good, I'd say. I didn't hear the upstairs or next-door neighbours, window insulation was flawless, the common spaces seemed fine too. I can't...

    Toronto Queens Quay & Water's Edge Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I hear ya. I went to Delhi for work a month ago, and was expecting to find Toronto nice and clean and pretty by comparison, but my plane had a long layover in Austria and stupid, beautiful Vienna ruined my homecoming. I got here and Toronto looked awful by contrast. I gotta say, though, Sugar...

    Toronto Pan Am Village in the West Don Lands | ?m | ?s | DundeeKilmer | KPMB

    I had such high hopes for this neighbourhood, but it's a sad, sad, place. It's like they looked to British public housing projects of the 20th Century for inspiration. I'm so glad I didn't buy here.

    Toronto 31R Parliament Street | 165.8m | 49s | Cityscape | SHoP

    I'm familiar with the ribbon building, but I hadn't heard there would be a 57 storey tower attached or connected to it. What I meant to say is: Is the 57 storey tower a new development or is it old news?
