So is everyone ready for today's (March 1st) snow storm?

RBC Economics Research just released a study today: Home ownership in Canada remains affordable … for buyers outside Vancouver or Toronto: RBC Economics Q4 2015 It has never been so unaffordable to own a single-detached home in the Vancouver area Toronto is seeing rapid deterioration in...

Not sure what all the anxiety is all about since a new study by the Canadian Department of Finance just declared the millenials the wealthiest generation of young Canadians to come around! o_O They state that those between the ages of 28 and 34 have an average net worth of approximately...

I think NYCC is a great neighborhood as well. It certainly helps that it's nestled within highly regarded residential neighborhoods on pretty much all 4 sides. The close proximity to the 401 is obviously a driving force (which is also a downfall, which I'll discuss later). As junctionist also...

The building itself is decent but the whole Shops at Aura and underground connection to College Park was clearly a means to sell a "value-added feature" to the Aura development. Sadly, speaking to the people I know in Aura (and I'm sure many others in the building would likely feel the same)...

The underlined statement reflects my thoughts as well. Although a great service for local commuters and at a much more attractive price point, I don't forsee the UPX being overloaded for this precise reason.

Admiral Beez, I've heard of others in similar situations as your's. It does seem like the FI (and possibly the Early French) stream is creating some dissonance within the English public school stream. Much of it seems to originate from the growing demand for French Immersion. We've read articles...

Oh wow...there it is! Link for future reference: http://www.tdsb.on.ca/Community/HowtoGetInvolved/CommunityAdvisoryCommittees/FrenchasaSecondLanguageAdvisoryCommittee/StaffReports,Memos,BriefingNotes.aspx Thanks again!

I may have spoke too soon. Looks like the rain they had originally forecast last week for Wednesday might end up being snow, rain and/or freezing rain. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/special-weather-statement-major-storm-1.3458111

So far I've only seen 1 or 2 houses in Toronto with an underground parking garage for around 4 cars. Nothing nearly as large as the iceberg homes in London, England of course.

I actually think something clean and elegant would be a good catalyst for developing more nice-looking buildings in this otherwise tired-looking section of Spadina. But that said, as a developer, you don't necessarily want to increase your risks by creating something that the neighborhood just...

With the relatively mild weather we've been having lately, would everyone boldly say that the toughest part of this winter is behind us? I think I shovelled a total of 5 times all winter. I see grass everywhere again and rain in the near term forecast. Am I premature to be already thinking...

Thank you, Bernoulli, for your helpful and thorough response! The link you provided was exceptionally informative as well. How would one actually find this link from TDSB's main website? I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't seem to track it down myself.

Hehehe...I'm chuckling at the dinner in the gondola ad. One would have to be served their meal immediately upon entry and scarf it down quickly in order to exit in time otherwise loop around and around until the last bite. ;)

I like the concept and I agree that it'd be an exciting addition to the city. I'm curious as to how the different fares would work. How would one identify themselves as a local or a tourist? How would this be enforced? Would it really be a financial detriment to simply charge the same fare...

Before you get into the specifics of the property itself, the most heavily weighted factor when it comes to resale value in Toronto is location. Pick the optimal location first, then consider the building features. Now all that said, to keep it as simple as possible, and with all things equal...

Looks very nice indeed.

^ Thanks for that article link. I now remember reading it when it was first published but have since forgotten about it. I think what the article is describing explains what I was questioning. I suspect it's not so much that boundaries for the Early FI program are changing but rather because of...

Also, does anyone know if TDSB has recently updated catchment areas for the French Immersion locations? I didn't think the school board would regularly revise the boundaries but someone mentioned to me recently that they did.

Admiral Beez, would you happen to know if TDSB has an updated list like the one you linked to a few years back (reference post above)? I remember it being quite helpful but just visiting the TDSB site now, I can't seem to locate this. There appears to be a search page where you enter the...
