    Units with Combined Washer/Dryer

    We have one of these combo units at our vacation place and while they work ok for light loads they do not work for heavier loads such as towels. Our towels never dry.

    Top Ten Things To Do?

    If you like footy you should go see Toronto FC. Always a good time and the ticket prices are reasonable.

    When do i put the down payment ?

    You won't get your mortage until you close on your property after the interim occupancy period. If you don't have the funds to pay the extra downpayment at that time, typical mortgages allow you to pay down a portion of the principal amount owed each year (mine allows for 20% prepayment per...

    Loft - Layout opinion

    I suspect they can't call what you think is the bedroom a bedroom because there is no window to allow escape during a fire. Don't like this plan too much for this reason mainly.

    King and Queen West Streetcar lines.

    There are restrictions on use of the streetcar lanes on King and Queen during certain hours? News to me and I've walked along King to and from work everyday for 8 years. The best solution in my opinion is to make King and Queen one way streets like Adelaide and Richmond. You could then have one...

    Top Ten Things To Do?

    As you probably know from your experience here before, because Toronto is a pretty new city, you can't really just visit the tourist sites since there aren't that many of them and the obvious ones are pretty crappy (e.g. CN Tower, Casa Loma etc). Toronto's charm sort of sneaks up of you. The...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    There are so many people with their heads in the clouds! Do you really think Iran was trying to be helpful in their advice or criticism? Any criticism by Iran has zero credibility for the reasons others have pointed out. I suggest using any statements by Iran to support one's position...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    I suspect those that support the police's handling of the events don't support police brutality. I think there is some sceptism amongst those people that many of the acts in question were in fact cases of police brutality and instead have been fabricated or exagerated (e.g., as a defence or to...

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    Yes - don't go out if a riot is happening outside your front door unless you want trouble - this is obvious. Who walks home through or takes their dog for a piddle in a riot? Most people would have had enough time to have removed themselves from the melee.

    Swank 2 bedroom at London on the Esplanade in Downtown

    IMO people that post negative comments in a For Sale thread are tacky.

    Should Cities Sell Naming Rights to Transit Stations?

    I think it is a great idea. We should also sell naming rights to our streets and parks. Heck why stop there - could we sell the naming rights to the City or even the country? I think the "The Dominion of Toronto-Dominion" sounds pretty good.

    G-20 Summit in Toronto

    Sure people had the right to be there but the "protest tourists" (I like that term) added to the confusion and were difficult to identify from the agitators. If you choose to be at the front lines you have foolishly put yourself at risk, are stoking the fires of chaos and accepted the possible...

    Corktown Lofthouses (Gilead Investments, 2s)

    I don't mind the old lighting. We've named the one that is by our livingroom window in the backlane Stuart lol!

    Rob Ford - Why the Supervillian?

    I am definitely not left wing. I wanted to point out that what you say could be used to describe many right wingers. Ever watch FoxNews? Left wingers do promise "free stuff" as you pointed out but that is their platform - no lies necessarily there. Personally I think it is idiotic to think that...

    What would you do if they built your condo like this? Thank you Liberty Development

    That's terrible. It'll be interesting to see how their proposed solution fixes the issues. Post pics once they've fixed them. Slightly off topic - I have bought several newly constructed condos and have found generally the quality of workmanship is quite low. I am currently having some extensive...

    Terminology

    This is a fruitless effort! 90% of people won't read these definitions.

    Any chance of developers raising prices?

    Regarding the post with the attached article from Stanley Taube. I note that at the bottom it says that he is a lawyer and author. With all due respect to Mr. Taube, what sort of expertise does he have to be writing on this subject.? Why does he think that a 20% drop is "reasonable"? I haven't...

    Neighbour Playing Drums -- very noisy in the building's private courtyard

    i think this is the by-law. You would fall under B.3. You apartment building may have different rules. http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2003/law0111.pdf
