Likewise, you better have a better line of reasoning than “my opinion trumps all other opinions simply because I am more knowledgeable and experienced.â€

These words/concepts themselves are subjective. Their interpretations and the relative weights one places on them will vary from person to person (even two people with identical education, training and experience won't always agree assuming they are humans, not robots), across places, and over...

Not always and not necessarily, especially in the context of subjective concepts such as architectural beauty. Impressionist painters were originally ridiculed and dismissed by the so-called experienced and knowledgeable art critics. Sadly the trend continued - Vincent van Gogh did not receive...

Ditto.

Aura performed a striptease - like Sophia Loren in Ieri, oggi, domani :D!

Ditto. Plus you have to visit multiple neighbourhoods/areas for a diverse selection of restaurants in Montreal. In Toronto, that is not the case. And good luck finding really spicy food in Montreal! Even Paris is better than Montreal when it comes to spicy food. The old architecture is...

I have been inside this building. It's not as dark as one would think looking from outside. I like the new design compared to how it looks now.

Trump Tower looks handsome with the light beam from top to bottom (at least from my vantage point). I am not sure about Aura. The pictures posted here look quite nice but when I look at the building through my window (it's a much closer angle), it looks as if the building is crying!

I guess you missed the part where the article stated: "The life the Balls are choosing is a result of years of city efforts. Planners have insisted that a quarter of all new developments downtown be two bedrooms or larger to accommodate families, and that they have child-friendly amenities...

Downtown Vancouver (www.canurb.com/doc_download/21-vancouver) has a higher population density than downtown Toronto (www.canurb.com/doc_download/20-toronto). By the way, Canadian Urban Institute’s definition of downtown Vancouver does even not include the West End, one of the densest...

While I don’t want to downplay the positive aspects, I would like to note that downtown Toronto residents have poor access to green spaces compared to residents in downtown Vancouver and downtown Montreal. The parks built by Concord Pacific in downtown Vancouver are much nicer compared to...

Thanks a lot for the informative reply AKS - it is very much appreciated.

Thanks. That website is quite disconcerting - it seems there is a bed bug epidemic out there! I am surprised to see so many new condo buildings with reported bed bug citing.

Does either tower have any history with bed bugs? Any idea?

Thanks for your reply drewp. I will look up the three buildings you mentioned. Upon cursory look - I liked the architectural style of 168 King Street East.

Thanks for the replies ssflai, bar1967 and Masin. The elevator situation is unfortunate - I hope it will get resolved sometime soon for all the buildings affected. Do you know if there are a lot of investors in this building or is it mostly owner occupied?

Thanks a lot for the informative reply AKS. Do you live in the CityPlace neighbourhood? Is it relatively easy to walk to downtown from CityPlace (I think a pedestrian bridge has been opened recently to go over the railway tracks)? Are there any other buildings in that neighbourhood that you...

Thanks for your comments TheKingEast. Are you aware of any new/newer condo buildings in downtown with superior soundproofing and/or less younger residents?

Can anyone who owns a unit or lives in Market Wharf comment on the quality of this building? I am not in Toronto now but considering living here in the near future so any feedback/comments would be helpful.

Can anyone who owns a unit or lives in Burano comment on the quality of this building? I am not in Toronto now but considering living here in the near future so any feedback/comments would be helpful.
