Leave it to a libertarian to say nothing at all. Contrast Toronto to big metropolitan cities like NYC (which Toronto is so obviously trying to be like), Chicago and you're left with a bitter taste in your mouth. There are simply no wide avenues (save for University Ave) that can accommodate a...

You probably do not want to confuse TERB with TREB. One is vastly more fun than the other.

Glad to see a fellow Masseyite on here! Are you a JF?

What's the problem with raising property taxes? Aren't they the lower in 416 when compared to ALL surrounding areas?

Curious when we see Cityplace collapse. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/11/13/tor-glass-walled-condos.html

Wow, corrupt to the bone. If these guys aren't interested in participating in the free market, they should be regulated accordingly.

How about the ugliest building built in the last 10 years (i.e. the recent condo boom)? Personally, and many of your would disagree with me here, but I passionately dislike X condos. Putting a few red and a yellow stripes on what is essentially a black brick sticking out of the ground doesn't...

I I pass this building on my way home some days and I've never noticed it to be particularly blue, either. More grey than anything. On a related note, both Uptown and Crystal Blue are very dark at night, especially the top halves of the buildings. Problem renting out/selling?

Giving away monopolies to private business is the right's idea of "efficiency", nowadays? To me, the people posting "privatize garbage collection" at this point are either dumb, misinformed, or have something to gain from it. How does one expect to pay less for garbarge collection when you now...

Just visited NYC. RE prices are around the same as here. This is not NYC. It will bust.

Anecdotal evidence ftw! Of course, to anybody that has ever been exposed to the concepts of logic and sound reasoning, the claim that university students are dumber than community college students is plain idiotic. Sure, there may be some community college that are smarter than an average...

Thank you, Republicans. Today was a sobering lesson. Last thing that remains is for our dear conservative leader to follow suit with more job- and demand-crushing policies. With stock markets crashing, perhaps the Toronto housing market can be seen as a relatively 'safe' investment where you...

so what happens to the market is USA doesn't raise its debt ceiling? 30%?

the justifications for not attending pride are idiotic. He would be in danger? I sometimes wonder how the people who say these things have made it this far in life.

why is this Wallman? Wasn't X1 aA?

so, based on what you are saying, anything above $350 psf is pure profit? So if they sell at 850, then 850-350=500$ profit on each sqft. And, as you mentioned, there are 760000 sqft. So, their profit is supposed to be $380000000. That's insane. One can found a good university with that money...

That's fine, but in your post you derive it from the purchase price of the location (22m), and some other costs about which you are not specific. I don't see how the latter translates into a price of $850 psf.

Could you break down how exactly you arrive at that number?

How is this even an argument? Are you actually this dumb or are you just trolling? Tinfoilhattery aside, this isn't about mistresses. Straightforward doesn't mean good.
