The thing is, demand for housing for the ultra-ultra wealthy doesn’t just go away. If you simply don’t build for that demographic, then the ultra-ultra wealthy bid on housing for the ultra wealthy, and the ultra wealthy bid on housing for the wealthy, wealthy for the upper-middle class, etc. In...

Toronto's Harbourfront skating rink to close permanently This is just sad, we live in a city that’s been a boom for a decade now? And yet our public services, amenities, infrastructure, etc. are all in a state of decay. What a joke. Edit: @Northern Light Do ya have a read on the situation...

So I dug in a bit and found some of my old notes. Bottom-line is we don't really know for sure (shocker) but there's a few hypotheses that in combination realistically cover the bases. In terms of the hypotheses, the first was that we overbuild our stations (York extension used as an example...

I had an urban economics professor who gave us three reasons why building transit is significantly more expensive in Toronto. Maybe I should dig up some of those slides, I clearly retained none of that knowledge

Losing the Cinesphere as a venue for movies would suck to be honest, even if they do only show second-runs and classic movies. It will be the only real IMAX theatre left in Toronto after the demise of Scotiabank theatre, and it’s one of the few left in the world that still projects film, in...

I don’t know if there has been a modal shift or not, but what the TTC does have is a perception issue. I talk to friends, coworkers, etc., and at this point they all attempt to avoid the TTC if they can, especially women, who often do feel scared to ride the TTC lately (anecdotal evidence of...

I respect what the star is doing here on this series of articles, but I wish this pressure regarding the state of the City had come throughout Tory's term instead of just before an election. The fact is, people are frustrated with the John Tory era of a decaying status-quo, and I feel the media...

Well the permit was issued in May and there’s only 42 units, maybe they sold them all?

Truly a groundbreaking announcement

Still no news on the club Monaco space? Been a while now

If the Oshawa facility is already ready for electrification, wouldn’t Lakeshore east be the first to be electrified?

I think even before that it’s been a bit quiet there, I could be wrong though

Not much progress lately? At least on the outside, doesn’t seem like a whole lot of activity

They really just painted it white and added a small, seemingly useless window on the left

Security seems like they’re not doing much at Union anyways, whose down to go plaster this ourselves tonight? Can’t be any worse than what’s there now

It is interesting how this government is fine with spending billions on ‘sticky’ social programs but is loath to fund any infrastructure projects of their own (to their credit, they have been willing to fund provincial projects).

Did not see anything on the map for this. The Rotman Commerce program, which is the undergrad branch of the Rotman business program at UofT, has basically operated out of the basement of the Woodsworth residence for some time. There's been rumours for years about expanding into their own...
