Globe & Mail actually published both charts in the Toronto Saturday section today, just to kind of show how ridiculous the detached 2-car argument is in this town.

Welcome to the forum. No one here -- unless it's been very recently -- has argued on a % of value basis, ever. In fact, it's 100% the opposite. I'd suggest you take a look back on the comparison of actual dollars vs. the rest of the GTA bar chart. Shows up about every 5 pages or so.

Apparently the Table 17 crew will also be managing the restaurant attached to the new theatre at Dundas & Carlaw. Rave reviews of both opening show & the Crow's Nest. We're going to check it out tomorrow.

I don't get the massive buildings in the middle, unless that's an attempt to just leave and renovate the current big box stores. I quite like the Eglinton frontage, although I would seriously move the LRT to the north side and build a ground level stop attached to the middle building. Attach...

How would you redesign it?

One of the points of this redevelopment and the Crosstown should be to re-orient the roads. However, quite frankly, the goal shouldn't be to make the roads work better for cars, but for all users. This is no longer a thoroughfare from the DVP to West Hill. Toronto should stop treating it as...

Because of course you do.

Have the soon-to-be residents started yelling about how their part of the LRT should be underground yet?

Thanks for that -- a play area will definitely be a great addition and will work really well as a deterrent.

Walked through on Wednesday on my way to lunch. Really beautiful. Some observations: 1. The raised park/gravel under the mural is very nice and a much better feature than the sunken cement benches, but it's not an off-leash area at all. I hope dog owners treat it with respect, but I'm...

Sure, but another said you can't get on at Castle Frank as it stands and 50 more riders will cause chaos. The 'kids won't be able to play in the street' was hilarious, too. When my 2nd cousins lived there or the kids that went with my kids to Sacre Coeur, I sure don't remember any street...

<giggle> So... no tolls, but tunnels. Perhaps we should invest a Bank of Toronto and start printing Torollers to pay for the scheme? I'd rather see the Gardiner torn down, but if Tory institutes a toll to pay for the reconstruction, that's about the best one can expect from the car-driving...

Sorry, is my sarcasm meter more broken than usual?

Believe it or not, tolls don't actually cause more congestion on side streets that don't go where traffic needs to go. The 407 has ably proven toll roads in the GTA are profitable. Tory has anything but a vivid imagination. Next?

Hi Ffilmic. What, other than density (which I'm sure is a big part of the deal, sure) fuels your objection to the project? It's respectful of the street, it's not going to impact on-street parking, it's to be tastefully landscaped with more tree canopy than current, it's a much better designed...

How does DD feel for residents during the Christmas Market? Kamp Klaus or is it lots of fun? Saw Chasse-galerie at Soulpepper Tuesday and the place felt really Christmassy, but it must be hell for condo dwellers.

Bull. If the argument is that compelling, why did it get turned down? How 'bout we just build out the Portlands on a schedule that suits Toronto?

Why would someone complain about the location? Because it's on a bright hillside in an amazing part of town? Why do you spend so much time anticipating other peoples' 'evil' intentions, rather than looking for the bright side of life?

Checked in on the weekend, and due to the frenzy they've had a couple returned during the 10-day cool-off, but the saleswomen said that they've been working down the waiting list and have most/all re-sold. In one instance, a couple was doing paperwork for one unit when the depositor on another...
