    Places to Sprawl

    i'm sure the growth numbers prepared by Durham and Niagara are more accurate and detailed than the broad brush numbers applied by the province in P2G. Also, they want to give municipalities a hard time for not being ready in june. right, cuz that's fair, cuz the province delivers everything...

    unfinished 'white box' condos gaining appeal

    that's getting close to the change i'm talking about. what i was getting at is really the lag time between occupancy and condo registration (ie actually ownership). under this white-box scenario, with nothing but capped water lines etc, the developer could no longer move you in, and make...

    Tim Hudak wins PC leadership - Who Will Be Premier in 2011?

    i understand it's a huge undertaking, takes majore political will but, with such significant implications.. they essentially drew lines on a map from queens park, moved those lines around based on major influence from Degasperis and the like. once those base was in place, the lag time between...

    unfinished 'white box' condos gaining appeal

    i may be mistaken, but from what i recall it had to do with at what level of completion an occupancy permit can be issued and when ownership can be transferred to the first owner. because of the lag time between the buyer taking occupancy and actual condo registration, the buyer can't do the...

    Tim Hudak wins PC leadership - Who Will Be Premier in 2011?

    he's not blocking development. he's just convoluting the process. changing the development charges act. no issue with the greenbelt plan itself. or the growth plan. more with the implementation of both. sure all the crains are good signs.. but it's what they had to go through before they...

    unfinished 'white box' condos gaining appeal

    i'm confused. make-work project.. i guess so, call it what you will.. it sounds like you're against the idea.. but doesn't that solve the problem of a waste of resources.. putting in what you from the get go? my comment about the small reno guys was more speaking to the change in the...

    Tim Hudak wins PC leadership - Who Will Be Premier in 2011?

    i hope he gets in. especially for the development industry. approval processes, developoment charges, the implementation of new provincial planning policy.. have all gotten out of hand with dalton. and tim isn't billing himself as a harris protege.. the star.. being such a pro liberal paper...

    unfinished 'white box' condos gaining appeal

    i went on a condo act course a few years back that spoke to this. from what i recall, they really started in hong kong. and from what i understand, would require majore changes to the condo act it self in order to allow this. i haven't finalized an opinion, but imagine the change it...

    Markham to Become a City?

    The Town of Pickering became the City of Pickering in 2000 (if i remember the year correctly). Pickering never really billed it's self as a cutesy Town like markham or oakville, so politically, it wasn't much of an issue. as far as i recall, the public didn't seem to care. The driving...

    If you could change one thing about Toronto, what would it be?

    second in pie.. good topic.. but besides what i would call random incidents, i wouldn't say we have a gang problem downtown. sure, in other areas, but the random DT incidents aren't what is hurting the DT IMO. Mystic Point have to disagree with one way streets.. they are killer to street...

    Downtown Mississauga Master Plan

    there's nothing wrong with City Hall besides 50% of the populations personal opinion. just imagine the passing of that council decision. "THAT Report No. XXX be approved by Council, to designate $100M of the capital reserve to replace the aging, urrr, ugly existing 22 year old building."...

    Downtown Mississauga Master Plan

    I found slide 22 interesting.. showing the scale of the city centre to downtown toronto. it's hard to imagine.. but a useful visual. as for altering City Hall. Don't go there. Has anyone followed the debacle that is the Hamilton City Hall renovation? ... long time troller of the...
