I think it still comes down to people's overall behavior these days with too many thinking they own the space around them with the mentality they can do as they please. A friend suggested last night that we might have to go with licensing for cyclists due to the complete irresponsible and...

$609/month? That's almost my entire rent. This is insane. What in the world are they offering in that piece of crap building that offers superior amenities that demand this price?

My two cents..... I think we have to accept that Toronto is not a very attractive looking, not a very scenic looking city. We've torn down most of our older, historic buildings, we have no real history that grabs the attention of the world and there are clearly others that find Toronto boring...

The answer isn't making people pay for licenses to ride their bikes. It's making people obey the rules of the road and using their common sense. Same as drivers. Same as pedestrians. Just ticket people when they break the rules. Hit them in their pockets. But my original statement stands. A bike...

Or a spending problem. Though it's most likely a combination of both. Either way, we're in a deep hole that's getting deeper.

I agree that cancelling the order is short sighted and would be very costly and just make no sense. While I love streetcars it's clear that our streets are congested to the point that streetcars really can't go anywhere, without constantly getting stuck in traffic. Buses can maneuver around...

I said the same before when they had one parked at Davisville, on display. Nice and roomy on the inside. Bland on the outside. More thought and creativity could have gone into the exterior.

I agree. I work in the area and it's really run down and depressing. Lots of homeless and people with addiction and mental problems routinely patrol the streets and yes, lots of prostitution.

My mother, who's in her 70's now, use to tell us as kids that when she first came to Toronto many decades ago, the city had many fine, historical buildings that she saw demolished and replaced with modern structures. She lamented the sheer scale of the loss of these buildings torn down in the...

Are bicycle licenses really necessary? Sounds like a money grab to me. We rode bikes all the time as kids and things were fine. You didn't need a license and it makes no sense that when you become a adult, you would then need to write a test and pay for a license to ride a bike. If this is the...

I'm far more interested in the street and don't want towers to overwhelm them. People put too focus on height and I personally don't want canyons. I want a mix...

It would appear so. The problem though with this is that people won't be unbiased and objective with their comments on either side but most especially the side that dislikes him. If you don't like Ford, everything he says and does will be magnified, dissected and blown out of proportion to...

So..... They don't want any cuts. Don't want any programs touched. Don't want layoffs of any kind. They want others to foot the bill forever as a solution. Have I got this right?

Sometimes, restructuring and making cuts are necessary. Some wanting no changes besides making others foot the bill forever is no solution. People down there yesterday didn't want cuts of any kind.

Did it occur to you that others in this city don't share this view? I want good services but I also want bang for buck. We don't get this. My street hasn't been done in several years. It's falling apart. All these so-called superior services and the city can't fix this street? And I live in a...

I think the point being made is that you can't just keep raising taxes forever to avoid balancing the books. At some point, you have to make cuts somewhere. People down there yesterday didn't seem to want cuts of any kind. At least, the type of cuts that are necessary. It's not realistic. The...

doug, You live to antagonize. You know very well it's impossible to back this up with facts. Next time you make a statement, I'm going to demand the same of you in the same condescending tone.

I said in my original post that "apparently" Doug was playing with his answer. And then the haters went nuts and called for his head. Interesting that the haters here can say whatever they want about others whose views they don't like and it's justified and usually involves vilifying the other...

Really? I make a articulate observation and it's dismissed with a snide insult thrown in as well. This is the problem. People disagree and they throw insults just to rob it in.

I'm not saying libraries will go completely extinct. But times are changing and fast. But outside of students, some elderly and some poorer people, does it make sense to keep all the libraries open in the face of diminishing use? I said it before. I don't know one adult that has a library...
