That looks really disgusting.. Especially in that last picture it looks like they built an ashtray for a condo.. Who in their right minds would build a matte black condo?

We are a massive city.Toronto looks massive in those shots!
Eh, I dunno. A lot of it depends on how well you know the city, I spsoe. As, if I came here and didn't know my way around it'd feel big. But at the same time, when I come back to Toronto after visiting larger cities, our city still feels like a bit of a shoebox. I think it's something about Toronto in particular. The metrics are clear that this is a 'big city'; but there's something about perhaps its development, zoning, or something like that that doesn't make it feel as dense as other places.We are a massive city.
Alright, alright, allow me to nuance, as my initial post can't really be reduced to a triviality. I was trying to suggest that there's something about Toronto, regardless of its relative size, that makes it feel smaller than the metrics say it actually is. I'm not sure if it's the layout of the downtown core with its considerable number of houses, or if it's the near-strict grid pattern that allows for few termini, but I think our city feels smaller than its actual size. Walk around downtown Boston for example. A demonstrably smaller city, but downtown there can feel like you're in a much bigger place than you actually are--bigger than Toronto, in fact.Not to state the obvious—actually yes, here goes—but when returning to Toronto from visiting a larger city, Toronto will feel not as large as the larger city.
That said (FX: opening chords of Beethoven's fifth) the more familiar you are with a place, the smaller it feels. It's the unknown that feels larger and unfathomable.
