While I like the Path on a snowy/rainy day - it takes life away from the street-life of Toronto.

DtTO - my post was not so much about my personal feelings on density or my real estate situation in particular. My question is why would a local counselor claim that the OMB would not respect the cities own plan (and we should anticipate the building being above the per plan 7 stories). The...

I like this response. My only uncertainty is that I recently went to a planning meeting for a development next to my building. Our building is 6 floors with a roof deck/garden and the proposed building is 13 stories. The city plan for the building is 7 stories. At the meeting, Counselor...

I wonder what him doing interviews with the foreign press exclusively (ie. people who do not vote for him) seems to say about what he thinks of this future plans - electoral or otherwise. Or maybe in his world all the local media are biased against him.

I would vote strategically to avoid a O-Chow win (though obv. not for Ford). We need to stop the swings from far left to far right. I would also like someone with more qualifications than that their parents let them run the family sticker factory or a fine-arts degree and a strategic...

I would really like to see an updated, thorough poll result for the city post all this Ford craziness. The idea that his poll numbers have not been negatively impacted by these last weeks seems incomprehensible.

I hope that as an outcome the citizens of Toronto realize they need to pay more attention to the candidates they elect and not give up on politicians in this city all together.

Sure - but the slower it goes and the more stops it makes the longer it takes to get where you need to go...and then you just drive instead.

Great vantage point!

Although visually it is an improvement, as someone who works in these towers the slowness of progress has been really frustrating. I walk between the towers all the time and you are forever being rerouted in a maze of scaffolding/hoarding. They have been working on it for I think 5 years? They...

Now there is a gravel parking lot here. Used to be one of the hippest men's clothing stores and after hours clubs. I really hope this project sells if just to get rid of this lot. There reallyl should be a rule about demolition prior to being ready to build the replacement structure.

Horribly out of proportion. Why not try to make a quick buck from any of the other currently unleased new and old buildings on this strip.

I am glad someone has already started a thread for this, I drove by today and wondered what it was (New Century dim sum - not too bad also). It is becoming something of a visual spectacle. Maybe someone who lives near by can get a picture?

If this is a untrue allegation (and it seems fairly improbable given the facts and circumstances) then I worry that the continued stream of either percieved irrelevant (my word choice granted) conflicts of interest problems and now this untrue allegations is going to diminish the factual...

It seems ironic that Toronto which wants more business has such high commercial taxes, but is also a city which obviously hardly needs to incentivise more people moving into the city but has such low residential taxes. But residents vote with ballots and businesses with their feet.

Some of you may find this article and short video piece on China begining to value its historic built environment: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/56a9ebf2-71d0-11e2-89fb-00144feab49a.html#slide3 (hopefully it opens - some of their content is restricted. I like them on facebook which...

Being part of the G8 kind of seems like a totally irrelevant sample here.

How is the municiapal administration hell bent on making it easier and easier for companies to do business here? I appreciate that the Ford team portrays itself as generally pro business and certainly pretty much all administrations want to increase there tax base - but I am straining to think...

I can confirm a major tenant (Ernst & Young) is taking up 11+ stories in this building (including the top floor which is noted as the 40th floor).
