Helpful image in this post. I don't think I've seen it before. Although I think it's missing one green line on the Lakeshore West line.

Not exactly, there technically is only 3 tracks right now. the 4th track is exclusively the responsibility of onexpress. Which probably wont happen till 2028 or so.Helpful image in this post. I don't think I've seen it before. Although I think it's missing one green line on the Lakeshore West line.

Note that the blue line is probably indicative of a "future track"

Those rich people move into new units, freeing up where they used to live for slightly less wealthy people, who then free up space for less wealthy yet, and so on. Adding "luxury" supply still trickles down. No one is going to be building new units without AC, insuite laundry or dishwashers for the bottom end of the market to live in. Public housing can do what it will do, but we don't have the ambition for it to solve the whole housing availability problem, or even keep existing public housing in a state of good repair.Are rich people not real people?

That works if you're assuming it's a supply issue which is not quite the case. The issue has been too much demand aka money and people (monetary and immigration policy) chasing housing. The real issue is excess demand and housing being turned into an investment asset. You're not building your way out of that because speculative excess demand instantly gobbles up all new supply.

It always "works" in that it frees up units that the wealthier people would otherwise occupy. The extent to which it "works" for people at the lowest end of the income spectrum depends on all of those factors.

When was this?
Thorncliffe 40 years ago was very nice. Very clean buildings, newer, good schools.... but the neighbourhood changed and went to hell to be honest. Currently there are something like 3X the ppl the area was built for, and I believe it to be higher than 3X. Best thing is to re-develop the ENTIRE area.
Btw, can you tell me which buildings in Thorncliffe you found to be "swankier" (except for possible "Leaside Towers", in which I know many ppl who have moved out and want to leave because "the buildings are not nice anymore"). Honestly, I can't stop laughing about the "swankier" thing. It's like saying "the South Side seemed swankier than Cabrini Green".

A few shots where the Ontario Line will cross Eastern Avenue. Pillars in place for the wiiiiiiidening.
(By the way what's the building they're building in the last shot here ^^^ doesn't look like a typical condo.)

3 tall storeys but looks about twice as many from street level.
Thanks for the drone shots of the corridor work. This weekend I’m going to bike around and snap a few pics from the ground. It is a neat/complimentary perspective that emphasizes the scale.

I came by (yesterday now*) to see what's going on, and habe some photos up in Thorncliffe Park.
The hydro corridor is almost totally fenced off, except for the roadway by Costco, though demolition of several buildings adjacent to tge corridor has been underway. The dual Tim Hortons and Wendys on Overlea are closed as well.
