So much potential on that block, its insane how underutilized it is. Did that building suffer some structural damage?

I actually am for slight displacement. Let's move some folks into Rosedale, Forest Hill and other areas that can share the burden. I see no reason one area of the city should have a markedly higher percentage of folks that need mental health and financial support.

What I find particularly maddening is that making a condo look respectable and fairly attractive does not cost more money.

I will certainly support the shifting of people from shelters / rooming houses to permanent housing. I think that would be a positive income. I believe some of that permanent housing should be located in other parts of the city. However, the approach that the well off of Toronto use of "packing"...

I should have quoted it. It’s post #309. Specifically the ppt presentation presented by the committee.

Call me insensitive but I think this is the last area in the city that needs more affordable housing. I’m fact, it needs less. Gentrification is a much maligned but needed force in this part of town. Let’s build some high end condos here and trade added density for affordable units within the...

Oh I agree but I'm saying that's an easy bypass. You won't stop vandalism with additional CCTVs is my point.

Firstly not only is having an overpoliced state not the ideal outcome, but avoiding CCTV and fines would be easy (wear masks, etc). It's not the solution here.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. People who were expecting a crash for the past 10 years have completely misread the room. Record low interest rates around the globe, restrictive zoning policies in major cities, along with demand that is either flat or rising means housing prices are...

The fine grain retail here is fantastic. Imagine this scale of retail across the city! Overall solid development that looks handsome without trying too hard.

Sure. However, it's comical that it'll take until 2041 or so to have this place developed lol. It's such a "Toronto" thing to do.

10-20 years??? WTF

I completely don't understand the argument from folks claiming there will be a downturn, specifically in the Toronto market. Let's look at the facts: - housing is limited by land, in particular detached / semi detached, etc - housing of all types (high rise, low rise, "missing middle", etc) is...

I'd agree with @evandyk in saying that the boundaries of the neighbourhood are roughly the area between church, adelaide, parliament, and the rail lines however i dont think there is a standard definition. Regarding safety, and of course with my male privilege aside, the neighbourhood is very...

Fair, but on the ground it feels very "grey" truthfully.

Maybe it's just me but this looks pretty terrible. Even if we put the massing aside, the materials look cheap to me having both seen pictures and walked by it a few times in person.

This area is fantastic but my god does it need more colour.

King East certainly doesn’t need to become King West but the sleepiness of it seems odd to me truthfully. There is so much potential. I’m curious how the strip looks in about 5 years once quite a few developments wrap up, COVID is in the distant past, etc.

I'd love to see a more animated king street east between Jarvis and Parliament. Obviously Covid has made things complicated but the location of the strip in the city, significant architecture, and access to transit would make it an ideal cafe, restaurant, and boutique scene. I know we have...

Wow right over the front of the Tokyo Smoke store.... hah. New notice is going up as we speak.
