Joke's over guys...

As a Torontonian who has traveled to Chicago many times, I wouldn't consider it to be any less livable or vibrant. It was planned infinitely better than Toronto with great infrastructure and heaps of green space in the downtown core and the architecture is second to none in North America...

:snooze:

I had that 2 bed/2 bath on the 31st floor facing north east. Was a great building. Ended up moving when we needed more space a little more than a decade ago. Quite a few Leafs players lived in the building at the time due to its proximity to the gardens.

I used to live @ 1001 Bay. Never found it to be particularly ugly. The way that the sun would reflect off the two tones was generally pleasing to look at with the cloud formations clearly visible etc. To each their own I suppose

Thank goodness you've arrived with this tidbit of refreshing commentary.

Who honestly hates on Dundas square? Who "hates" anything like this? Its a public square and one of the more happening places in the entire city. If billboards and lights and advertising isn't your thing, then just don't go there. but to "hate" it? pretty sure there are many more...

pretty sure the topping off ceremony was last month

My favourite is where it says: "leveraging its robust public transit system"

I just feel like there's an awful lot of time and effort put into bird preservation. If protecting every living creature isn't practical or practicable, why all of the hoopla about birds? How many birds die naturally every day? Is the bird death to dollar cost of avoiding bird deaths worth...

Sounds like a cop out from people who are too afraid to own up to their own bad decisions

What makes birds so special? Is it because some of them are pretty? How many ground dwelling animals are killed when developers are excavating. How come nobody cares about the insects?

Considering both sides of the streets are lined with hospitals, it's always going to be a "boring" part of town Lumping a condo on the corner and adding residents isn't going to change whats happening in the immediate vicinity

well thats that... /thread

Sounds NIMBY to me tbh. Cities grow... Especially desirable ones.

Since when does society have a right to tell people where they can and can not spend their money? Do we tell overweight people that they cant eat McDonalds every night because it might cut into their "bad night at the casino" fund? Not saying we dont care/shouldnt help people with gambling...

its that type of narrow-mindedness that makes me ashamed on behalf of alot of people

You will be distinguished as being part of the 1% of the population of Toronto that knows or cares. To the lay-person, it looks nice. I work about a block south of Dundas square and its already looking mighty impressive from here.

While I agree that preserving history is important. There simply isn't much about this stretch of Yonge street that is very "rich" or "long" at all. I'm sure that many people won't like to hear it, but there simply isn't a lot to to preserve in Toronto since the city is so new. Are we going...
