UofT is just far more integrated with the surrounding downtown urban environment. I don't see that as a negative. It also has more than double the land area, at 176 acres. The UofT downtown campus contains 176 buildings with a total of 15 million square feet. It's also part of a larger...

Holy crap...obviously you have no shame. Downtown Toronto has considerably more than 29 parks, and downtown Toronto is surrounded by considerably more than 1000 acres of parkland. Ok...time for a little math lesson. Downtown Vancouver including Downtown Eastside has a residential population...

renders.......

My original reply to your statement was that simple park space per capita is not in and of itself...negative. And that of course is true. Your triad about how much more dense downtown Vancouver and how it had many more parks is not substantiated by any evidence at all...including this...

Everybody thinks more park space is always needed. But your bogus claims and faulty analysis have been debunked, and along with your trolling and insults, takes away from any constructive discourse on the matter.

You've already been checkmated. Game over.

$650 million buys a lot of rationalizing.

What you seem to be ignoring (on purpose I imagine), is the apples/oranges part of "your" comparison (because the study isn't making the claims...you are). If you only want to include the small business district area of downtown Van for jobs/ha numbers, then you would have to do the same for...

As is clearly demonstrated by the map provided and the statistics, Toronto's 1500+ parks come in every size and type, including ones with nude beaches, to 24hr/365 days archery fields, to a single park large enough to hold all the park space in the entire City of Vancouver...3 times over. And...

For the kind of very local work done in municipal politics, it is important that councillors always have a "free vote", so it's a thumbs down for municipal level partisan politics.

Except there is something wrong when the study you are cherry-picking from is a meta-analysis (a study of studies)...it isn't meant to make the direct comparisons you are because it is using various unrelated studies, with various criteria and definitions, rather than starting from scratch using...

At that moment, I actually felt a little embarrassed for the Ford team. That level of lipstick malfunction is a clear indication of serious mental disability....you know...the people that hang out during the day around Queen/Ossington. But that's the kind of normal die-hard Ford Nation types...

What I find "concerning" is the fact that these so-called isolated people are so out to lunch that they choose to throw their vote to the guy least likely to help them. Even though I am relieved that we do not have a Ford as mayor, I'm still just as appalled as I was in 2010 that such a huge...

I think it's already a very well known fact that Gehry doesn't suffer fools.

Jezuz...If you haven't clued into the apple/oranges part of this yet, then you are either just dense...or like I suggested...just trolling. Yea, I know what you said. Except I'm wondering if you know what you said. You claim downtown Vancouver has "far more parks", and then quote something...

For the map represented in Canadian Urban Institute report (equals Wards 20, 27, 28 + the Niagara Neighbourhood), the population as of May 2011 was 242,815. (the 168,000 quote is from a slightly different map than the one they used) That's an increase of 37,190 over 2006, for an average increase...

It's an education issue with a bit of location thrown in (herd mentality). The less educated you are, the more likely you are to support people like the Fords. If you need proof, just look at the winners they showed at the Ford party headquarters.

I should use better judgement and ignore you, as you are clearly trolling. But the Canadian Urban Institute does not make such a claim. You are drawing that conclusion by reading apples-oranges figures. The area used for Toronto is more than 10 times what is used for Vancouver, and you just...

But it's "family" oriented and nothing says conservative like "family values". I think the era of the Big Blue Machine is never going to return....the world has changed too much. But then again, that's a provincial thing, not a City of Toronto thing. Tory just can't get his mind out of...
