The size of this building I can live with, the cladding not so much, it's so bad lol

There's definitely a lack of signage and even "permanence" on our surface routes. The streetcar network should feel a lot more substantial than it is both in terms of signage but also priority signalling, right of way, etc wherever possible. I'm hopeful we'll get there.

I think this stretch of King E will change a lot in the coming 10 or so years with additional condos being built, two nearby subway stations as part of the Ontario line, improvements to St. Lawrence market, improvements to the waterfront down the street, etc. It currently feels a bit in limbo...

Residents should be fined for wasting the public's time. How ridiculous. We need density and this is NOTHING. They should be happy to get this instead of a tower. Tired of idiot nimbys.

I live right next door and mass was never the issue. The materials are. If this building kept the same mass and used single pane glass and quality brick (not pre constructed “fake” brick), this building could have been very attractive. Density is more than welcomed here.

It begins.

I grew up in public housing and im strongly against this kind of housing. Since most people on this forum seem to disagree from what I've seen, I'll leave it there. Not a good idea in my books.

This is comically bad. If we let something like this dominate the st lawrence market block there's seriously no hope for us. Since there's no hope this wont happen, lets just hope its 1/10 instead of 0/10.

Yup. Too much coddling going on. Commit a crime and be punished otherwise there's no reason for laws.

Anyone else hate the first few floors of this? It just looks so "busy". Maybe it's just me.

Now the developer will go back to the drawing board and change the design to fit the budget. Good job city planning!

The design of this will cost the city nearly $300 million? Be right back, switching careers.

More than one. Little consequences for breaking windows so multiple people have taken up on the easy opportunity :)

Interestingly enough, with your model most folks I’m referring to would be detained given they’re on the 7th, 10th, and 20th chances, pardon the hyperbole.

I’m in favour of legalizing all drugs. If someone wants to self harm I’m not opposed to it. Leaving needles on the street, harassing people due to the effect of drugs, etc is not acceptable, full stop. I didn’t mention lengthily prison terms. Trust me I’m quite compassionate. However, if the...

Precisely. We shouldn’t infantilize the homeless or mentally ill. Ultimately people are responsible for their actions. Being homeless or mentally isn’t or shouldn’t be a crime. Harassing people, shooting needles, and breaking storefronts should be. That applies to everyone.

Thanks for the link! This is good news / progress.

They don’t care. It’s not in mayor Tory’s neighbourhood so he can virtue signal that they’re doing something about the problem. Ultimately we’ve created a system where folks that are homeless or mentally ill can get away with many things other citizens cannot. Standards need to be uniform.
