Whoever suffer fro gridlock has deliberately chosen it. Period.

where did I mention "huge towers"? It is your own straw-man argument I am afraid. But of course I was being dramatic and saying something unrealistic. However, it remains true that the current "planning" of adding 70s towers along Yonge and creating brand new neighbourhood on the waterfront (I...

Well, H Clinton deserves an equally long list. The media simply choose not to talk about it at any cost. Trump is criticized as a "flip flopper", in THIS election? that makes me laugh so hard. This election makes me discredit the US media industry entirely. They can't even pretend to a shred...

Well, even downtown is not that developed. Look at Bathurst and Jarvis st, my favourite two examples. In the shoulder area, just look at the area near Dupont station, Castle Frank and western part of the Danforth (broadview, Chester and Pape). They have the subways yet still look like the...

Yes, I think you did. These cities look big and vibrant because they started as centres of certain regions. For example, Grenoble being of similar distance of Lyon as Barrie from Toronto, is never a suburb of Lyon. It is the capital of the department (Isere), and served as the capital of...

yeah. Look at Muji today. Rarely busy any longer.

So I have moved to France, at least for the next few years. Grenoble is a small city with only 180k people in the city or 600-700k in the metro area. I thought it would feel small before I came but it completely shocked me. This city has very grand boulevards, hundreds of exquisite Art Deco...

I had high expectation for it, but turns out very cheap and mass-produced. The tower is even more disappointing than the podium. ugh!!!!

yeah, which is why we have women vs. men's games, plus para-olympics. No senior Olympics, though I think we should. I get it that now "gender" is considered the new sex, what I can't stand is people waving the ultra-liberal "gender" flag as if sex means absolutely nothing and it is all about...

True, but how can we say athletes like Semenya are female? She has an undescended testicle if I read it right. Just because she is brought up as a girl and recognizes herself as a woman doesn't mean it is fair for her to compete in women's sports. It is probably the only area where sex, rather...

No need to create a new category. If one's testosterone level is more similar to male than female, then they should participate in the male events. Putting this whole "gender" thing aside, I would rather see intersex athletes compete in a game where they are of somewhat a disadvantage than a...

End of story? Guess all male athletes can simply "claim" a female gender to compete then? Then the real females (physically) will have no chance to win any medals. This sex vs. gender difference is one thing in normal life, because a male by claiming to be female, it doesn't really cause harm to...

Oh, that little yellow house. Does anyone like it and thinks it has "character"? For the past 5 years I was hoping it would be burned down accidentally. Simply atrocious.

Being inclusive is BS. You don't see Rosedale or Yorkville being inclusive at all. And for many members who support these kind of requirements under the good name of "caring about the poor", it all sounds noble when the said neighbourhoods are nowhere near they live. It would mean a lot if they...

What kind of "group" is that? Allowing homeless people to sleep and sex workers to work and drug addicts to use defeat the purpose of having a public space, because it essentially scares away all the non-homeless/prostitutes/drug addicts. We are all supposed to care for the less unfortunate...

I walked through the area yesterday. It is a massive improvement over what I saw 8 years ago, which was an appalling experience at the time (largely industrial with unpaved dusty roads. I was really shock as the downtown is walking distance). The trees along the boardwalk are fully grown and...

I am East Asian, which means I don't NEED deodorant due to lack of the ABCC11 genes (aka: smelly armpits gene, which 98% of people of European descendant have, plenty of scientific literature on that). We don't even sell deodorant in Asia. I often have to hold my breath in my gym though.

I don't fear it as I said several times I don't think it is dangerous. I avoid it because it is ugly and smelly.

I would take the Moss Park area over a tree lined upscale residential street in Mississauga any day. Even Pokémons don't go to Mississauga, LOL.

If this does go ahead, I wouldn't mind whatever tiny green space that is planned you mentioned is canceled. We have enough of those half assed "parks" where a golden retriever can't even run. We should stop pretending those are functioning parks.
