also skewed just by the general make-up of UT members.. generally urbanites. as for me.. 31 minutes door to door. but thankfully I stopped the monster commute from oakville to 400/HWY 7. that was deadly - litterally.

adma was bang on with the "pile on comment" LOL at kettal for thinking someone might be trying get a reaction out of "us" DSC - LOL at you too. sometimes the self-righteous urbanites on here are enough to drive me crazy. Can’t someone just asked a question with out getting dumped...

what he'll actually want to try is - backtrack and get on the gardiner at S. Kingsway.. then exit Jarvis, go north to come in the back door. a few more clicks on the car, but i find sitting on the gardiner slightly less frustrating than sitting at red lights or behind street cars first thing...

i thought we had a thread on this building, but couldn't locate it. i liked this affordable housing project, although many feel there would be a negative impact on king and gore park. but the market can't support the conversion to a market value condo yet. would have been a great way to...

i was trying to creat a then and now using birds eye view on Bing maps, but I can seem to save a screen shot. Based on that 3rd photo, tt appears we lost a nice gateway feature at Dufferin.

I read this article in the printed version of the star with my morning coffee saturday morning. I can't believe, with all the red-tape these days, that this couple got screwed so bad. I'd be talking to my lawyer about getting a day in court...

just found out.. a friend of mine is moving in this february. 3yrs from his purchase date.

pending? if you really new anything about the heritage process.. you'd know this report exists already. and would be good for both of us to read meh.. you probably think the City requiring all condo developers to provide metro passes to purchasers is a good idea. we'll rarely be on the...

and.. if this house is close to being designated.. then there has probably been a heritage report on it.. which i'd gladly read. post a link if anyone has got one.

oh adma.. that must make you feel good to be so clever. good for you. And Scarberian.. I still don’t see it. It looks like a stucco mcmansion somewhere off pine valley road in kleinburg. In keeping with AmJ.. The easiest thing to do, would be not issue demo or alteration permits for...

well.. stuff like this happens all the time. not designated, but on a LACAC significant list. if you think every property owner that is on some significant list, will designate the house for the 'greater good', you're kidding yourself. if you owned 900,000 worth of real estate, you'd...

I've been in the barry lyon officies. very nice. a great interior restoration. very neat. little half steps throughout the floor space. two steps up to the board room. three steps up to a little washroom. really putting the closet in "WC". neat stuff like that. but if i remember...

To archivist… it's exactly why urbantoronto exist.. to share opinions, ideas etc. i started posting here for that reason alone. to get away from other sites that turn into bickering exchanges. my point was childish name calling over a difference of opinion is just that - childish...

LOL it really is a tough question. if you've never been to any of the malls. i'd say, vaughan mills. one lap and you're done. but if you're familiar with a mall.. erin mills, or sherway can offer shorter distances between stores. or.. you can go for atmosphere and people watching...

yeah, forget this. they whould fast track ORC's sell of of prov. surplus lands.

ok adma, before you go all willy nilly calling me an idiot, settle down. Just cuz we don’t agree, doesn’t make either of us an idiot. when you buy property, it comes with rights, privileges and yes - restrictions. In this case.. heritage restrictions wasn’t one of them. So, to come...

i don't buy that. most aspects of any type of soft cost.. services is only subject to gst... so development projects, will cost more.. how bout the lawyer bills at the omb.. going from just subject to gst to the hst. multiple that by all aspects.. architect, p.eng's, env'tal consultants...

well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me.

This is from the staff report "Part 1 of the Planning Act prescribes areas of Provincial interest for which municipal councils should have regard, including “the promotion of development that is designed to be sustainable, to support public transit and to be oriented towards pedestriansâ€...
