    Cityplace vs. Y/E

    How about "Loved by residents, criticized by those who don't know any better" and we'll have to take your word on your second point...

    Toronto Fly Condos | ?m | 24s | Empire | Graziani + Corazza

    Seriously speaking.... I really think the city should have insisted that these buildings (this one and 300 Front) have some sort of public parking component in their underground garage. Ignoring the people that come to party, these parking lots were always packed with people going to conventions...

    Cityplace vs. Y/E

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word Another thing to note - I would take all the "a lot of young people move into CP thinking it's going to be fun, but inevitably get the hell out" and similar statements with a hefty chunk of salt. There's unfortunately a lot of anti-cityplace rhetoric on...

    Cityplace vs. Y/E

    I live in Apex. It's one of the 4 original cityplace buiildings, which are north of the train tracks. So they are a bit separated from the rest of cityplace, and closer to the downtown core. Our condo board is excellent and always on top of things, and our condo management (brookfield) is...

    Cityplace vs. Y/E

    Dude... seriously... it's a complete no brainer for you. No car, will be taking transit/walking: Why spend 20 minutes on the subway when you can have a nice leisurely 10 minute walk each way. Taking the subway during rush hour is no fun, believe me. If you really hate the cold the streetcar is...

    Cityplace vs. Y/E

    I live in cityplace but spend a lot of time up at Y/E also. I think for you it's a no brainer - cityplace is a much better fit. First of all it's a very short walk (10 minutes) to the financial district, vs a lengthy subway ride from Y/E. And as others have mentioned, I find the cityplace area...

    Problems w/ buying *lowest* floor of a development?

    I'm personally on a high floor and prefer them, but I see no reason why it would be harder to sell a ground-level unit. I know of people who specifically look for these - people afraid of heights, people who hate elevators, and people with limited mobility who are concerned with being stuck if...

    Luna Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

    Fair enough. When I first moved in to CityPlace the fastest internet available from Rogers (their "extreme" package) was about $60 per month, and was about 7Mb/s. Telus internet is a legitimate 100Mb/s, and was available for $30 for the first 6 months and then $50 after that. So it was a...

    So long as all these dog owners take their dogs there to destroy the park, it will never quite be "wonderful" :(

    Toronto Toronto City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Perkins&Will

    See now I never know if you're being sarcastic or not. You encourage voting for Rob Ford in your signature - which is equally as ridiculous as your post - and yet apparently you are serious about that..... so :confused:

    Toronto Canoe Landing Park | ?m | ?s | Concord Adex

    hehe. I think the photo(s) you're refering to (with the brilliant green grass and the gardiner in the background) have you fooled. what you're in fact seeing is a green carpet (aka "synthetic turf") with the gardiner in the background. which is why it looks so perfect. don't get me wrong.. I...

    Luna Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

    Funny... I've actually always felt the same way about your posts (the awful bit). I don't generally accuse people of taking themselves too seriously... but I think it's blatantly obvious in your case. Conjures up images of some single 30-40 year old whose only outlet is an internet forum...

    Luna Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

    I wasn't particularly offended by anything written. I just felt that one distasteful comment deserved another. ha! an "awesome yorkville condo" automatically means someone's life isn't miserable? PLEASE tell me you were writing that tongue-in-cheek... or i think a lot of people will have...

    Luna Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

    I agree the criticism has been unnecessary and in poor taste. However I also agree that this is an internet forum and poor taste is (sadly) what internet forums are all about. Take them for what they're worth. If nothing else the posts help give us a better picture of our fellow forum-posters...

    Luna Condos (Concord CityPlace) - Real Estate -

    bad luck? other than stupid superstitions, is there any legitimate reason why a red backsplash is bad? i think it looks pretty slick... and +1 on the carpet. I would absolutely hate to have anything other than carpet in my bedroom and living room. makes everything feel more cozy.

    Virgin America coming to Toronto

    If I'm flying a couple of hours to Florida or the carribean or something (or even closer to places like boston, chicago, nyc, etc), then I could care less about comfort and conveniences. I'm just looking for the cheapest flight. On the other hand, if I'm flying to somewhere like the UK where...
