Wow. Paranoid. Since when does an opposing opinion make someone a paid shill?

Nice pic. So the camera is on top of the Spring? I'll have to look for it when I get home tonight. Couple of questions: What other tenants besides Whole Foods are coming to the site? Will there still be outside (public) subway access from Poyntz on the east side of yonge? Sorry if these...

Wow. Just wow. I grew up in Scarborough. My parents still live there as does my brother. Our business is at Morningside/Sheppard and I just came back from having lunch at Lick's at Morningside and Kingston. I have never seen a drive-by shooting or have had to duck to avoid being shot or...

Actually my commute takes me less than 20 minutes by car. By transit it takes me more than two hours one way. For me the 'mega-city' doesn't even come into it - it's done. And yes, our waterfront is is need of an overhaul with better public access - not just sold off to developers for more...

As someone who works in the 'evil' private sector, lives in the suburbs and drives a car to work - I am happy that Ford won. Oh and I'm from an immigrant family and have two university degrees so I must be a an idiot bigot based on the logic in this thread.

:D Well said.

Just wondering if anyone here knows when occupancy is scheduled to commence?

Wow aiekon you place looks amazing! Makes my place look too cluttered in the photo I posted. In person it doesn't look that busy but I have stuffed quite a bit of furniture into a small space :)

Ahhhhhhhhh I didn't know we had a West Elm in Toronto! I like Pottery Barn but some of their stuff is a bit traditional and large for a condo and West Elm is more modern. Thanks for posting the link shelfun. :)

I live in a small condo (540 sq ft) and have dark hardwood floors that I had installed a year after I moved in. The carpet I had before was a cream berber. I absolutely LOVE the dark wood floor and it doesn't make my place seem smaller at all. I do, however, have floor to ceiling windows in...

In my experience, condo developers love to keep the fees artificially low to entice buyers. Anyone who thinks that the fees are going to remain the same or only increase a little in the first few years is kidding themselves. I live in a 4/5 year old condo and our fees have increased...

There is something called a Standpipe in every building over a few floors high. The fire department just turns on the water from the fire hose cabinet (in the hallway of the common areas on each floor in most buildings) and uses the fire hose. There will be a fire pump in the garage usually...

Let's get back on topic here. As I recall it was about the HST and condo maintenance fees. Otherwise move this thread to the Politics and Diplomacy board.

For what it's worth, I live at Yonge & Sheppard and I love the area and have been here for 4 years now. I drive every day to work in Scarborough coming up through Avondale to Yonge to the 401. I haven't found the traffic to be that bad. It can get congested but is by no means a nightmare in...

In my condo, which is 4 years old, the developer did not provide bicycle storage areas/bike racks. We do have lockers but they were sold just as lockers and not bike storage areas. A deficiency like this should be on the Performance Audit for your corporation once you turnover from the...

I would love to change the weather. I hate the damp cold in winter and the humidity in summer. Drier air would be nicer. Mountains would be nice too. I was in Alberta this past summer and loved the dry heat and mountains. :)

Today I was almost hit by a car. I was walking in a Walmart parking lot crossing the driveway to the store (there are yellow lines and speed bumps in front of the main doors and cars have to slow down and watch) when an elderly woman hit the gas and almost plowed into me. Now I'm thinking she...

I couldn't agree with you more. I am also on a condo board and you've outlined what's going to happen perfectly. Some of you say, it's only a few more bucks on things but those few bucks soon add up to a lot of money because the HST is going to be charged on everything whereas the PST was...

I suppose it also depends on what one would consider a good parking spot. Sure being close to the elevators is a given but I personally wouldn't want to park on P1. It's usually where all the visitor parking is and the busiest and sometimes it's hard to get out of your spot if it's located...

Thank you for the info and tel number. I appreciate it :D
