I apologize. I was responding to some earlier posts. I understand that many on this forum have certain political ideaologies and get extremely upset about those different opinions but this is a little extreme. I will refrain from reading and posting on this forum.

I'm not sure if he had custody of the children but he had a 3 bedroom apartment.

The article states that if market units are not rented then there will be no one paying market rent and the co-op will not be able to function. This suggest that there are designated market units, there are not. The co-op neds to manage the % mix. Depending on the number of units in the...

Co-ops are not like grocery stores. The grocery stores do not stand in front and determine that only a certain number of people are allowed in, then tell everyone else we'll put your name on a list and let you know when you can get in. If you went to a grocery store and there was a special...

Would you go to the food bank and pay for items?

As mentioned for a given area co-op market rates are usually below for profit market rental rates. Most for profit buildings do not have 5 year waiting lists. There is a limited supply of co-op units and each individual unit is not designated market or subsidized the overall portfolio is...

If there were only 100 spots at the community centre with a wait list of 300 people with half of them low income families with children, then yes. The Y does not limit the number of memberships so it is not comparable. There is a finite number of units in co-op buildings.

I have no problem with these rules. If however the person making over 6 figures paying $800 a month while over 500 people are waiting for that unit (some of them needing subsidized housing), goes public and says we need more affordable housing, why would that person first not give up their unit...

If I told you a bank VP was living in co-op housing with a 10 year wait list paying $900 a month rent for a 2 bedroom (market rent)would you feel the same way. (some details have been changed to protect the person's identity.)

Market rent in co-ops are not market rent as the general public knows it to be. Currently a one bedroom apartment in the esplanade co-op buildings market rate is $800-850 a month including all utilites no parking. Co-ops were inherently subsidized with "land grants" by various forms of...

Re: Surendra Vaithilingam Surendra Vaithilingam was shot in Morningside heights, depending which map you are referring to this may or may not be considered Malvern. On the City of Toronto neighbour hood maps Malvern does not include anything north of finch or east of Morningside. Some...

The LSE local during rush hour pretty much is Toronto only service, the exception being the pickering stop which was to allow transfers from the express train for durham riders to get to destinations in Toronto that are not near Union Station. Some get off at Danforth to transfer to BD subway...

The only time it may be safer to cross at Spadina & King on a red light is after 5pm when traffic is blocking the intersection so everything is at a standstill. Having worked at that intersection for 10 years I can't tell you the number of times I've almost been run over at Spadina & Adelaide...

I feel more in danger crossing Spadina and King than Markham and Lawrence, which has a way higher volume of traffic by the way. I guess we do have vastly different standards.

You're joking right? First of all the picture from streetview is when the strip mall was going under contsruction. That intersection is walking distance to the mall, a grocery store, a high school, banks, a renovated expanded public library (with many seniors programs), a pretty much brand new...

This is a major preception issue that people have of the 416 suburbs. 45% of Scarborough's population is under 24 or is over 65, vs only 36% of old city Toronto and East York. Further to this only 45% of people in Scarobough have their first language as English vs. 62% in Toronto and East...

What exactly do you perceive the suburban agenda to be? Also De Baeremaeker represents a Scarborough Ward and is pretty much the guy who pushed bike lanes across the city. He's been elected member of council for a decade now.

Considering that the current SRT runs through a federal riding held by a conservative MP, she won the riding from the incumben liberal who was there for almost 3 decades, I would be surprised if the feds did not come up with some money. This was a big win for the Conservatives in 416 terriroty...

The city, Metrolinx and the TTC agreed last year that the SRT would be converted to an LRT with $1.8 billion in provincial funding by 2020. This project was on the funded project list. They are just confirming they will switch the funding to the subway build instead of revoking it as...

So when MoveOntario 2020 was announced 3 months before a general election (which provided the funding for Transity City, then yanked "delayed" by the province after the election) that did not influence what should have been proper transit planning? With the provincial Liberals in a minority...
