So true. They're professionals, right? You'd think they'd know this based on experience. That being said, I enjoy the show myself. I always wonder how they get building permits so quickly though, especially when the owners always want to move in so quickly. P.S. The newest season of...

MPAC assesses property values in Ontario: http://www.mpac.ca/pages_english/property_owners/how_mpac_assesses_property.asp Their assessment is what the city uses to calculate property taxes.

True. But that's in the Condo Act, so it's not just this builder, it's all builders. During these times of rock bottom interest rates and growing sales of pre-con condos, purchasers are earning zero interest on their collective millions. Scary times.

It does allow for a more powerful exhaust hood to be installed over the stove. Generally, microwave/exhaust hood combo units don't have the same power as standalone units. But yes, hiding a microwave in an island is functionally awkward.

The Fort York neighbourhood currently has no libraries AND no Tim Hortons... wonder what the Fords think of that?

I'd much rather have a large capacity single sink than a standard sized double.

Is she a first time homebuyer? Is she on the hook for land transfer taxes?

Why is it insane? This is what an urban mosaic is about. Are you actually suggesting that we marginalize the less fortunate to pockets of the city where "the rest of us" can ignore them and the social issues that displace them in the first place? If you want a city with homogenized...
