Honestly it's absolutely ridiculous that we argue about laneway housing when this location should be about building a 6-10 story building.

Laneway housing 12 minute walk from St George station? This city is doomed.

Feel free to quote me in 5 years. If substantial policy changes are not put in place, we’ll consider the current housing market “cheap”.

Timmies run.

I met her at the corner of front and church some time back and wasn't impressed.

Toronto Centre is sadly a Liberal lock until hell freezes over. Makes me not want to vote.

I can only laugh at this point. We’ve reached a point where we’ll either have a housing market that crashes and burns or a market that won’t allow for additional housing to be build and increased pressure on prices, rents, etc. I’m guessing the latter ;)

So 50% shrinkage if not more... great :) Makes perfect sense given the increased population and mixed income nature of the neighbourhood

I know that many point to the rightmost unit but it saddens me that this location is shrinking at all. I'd like to see a larger, not smaller footprint for this location but alas.

I feel kind of dense so maybe someone can help me out :) If I look at the following two diagrams, I see that the no frills site has been cut in what appears to be 50% or greater. Is it moving to the retail slot on the right where the dollarama, lcbo currently are? The previous discussions...

I’m confused about the changes. Are we losing the no frills? It appears that the retail slot they’re currently occupying is halved. That’s very disappointing for all those that live in the neighbourhood.

Anyone else find it interesting that when they talk to the average person concerned with home prices they mention things like rent control, foreign investors, and small apartments but never single family zoning, low interest rates, and opposition to new development? What would it take to move...

This building is comically bad. First year architecture students should be taken to a tour of the building and told "don't do this".

I'm going to give this a read, thank you! The party that does the most on this gets my vote for sure.

Ahh okay this is useful info! I wasn't aware that the province could allow 3-plexes or any other built form as-of-right. Are there any parties that have brought this up as a solution? Trying to figure out where to vote and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere by anyone.

Question for the well informed here. What's everyone's thoughts on Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs)? Do folks think that might be a way to ignore nimbys throughout Toronto and build the type of built form that allow our citizens to find the home right for them? Any cons with MZOs? Do other...

Agreed. It needs a well thought out and comprehensive plan to transform the neighbourhood top to bottom.

Perfect! Whoever wants to meet me there, first 0.5g pre-roll on me :)

Not sure about that. I think with the two across the street there would have been a nice opportunity for a "pot district"

I live in this building and im quite disappointed at another furniture shop in the neighbourhood, especially one that looks like it belongs in a suburban strip mall.
