    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    A section of this forum thinks that City Place is a collection of some of the mediocre/anti-urbanist buildings in the City, and that Concord cheaps out on cladding. Concord was responsible for the City Place master plan. Personally, I think a lot of the complaints about City Place are...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    According to the Weather Channel, we haven't had "normal" spring rains - it's been very wet. 7th rainiest on record!

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Cool shots as always, @hawc Is there some light flooding going on to the east of where the river meets Villiers? The river level seems high. (I guess normal for this time of year even though I imagine there's not a ton of snow melt.)

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    What I don't understand is $5000 a month for two bedrooms. Who is paying that? If you can afford $5000 a month, why aren't you buying a place?

    I guess I yucked your yum!

    Land Acknowledgements and Reconciling Our Settler History

    Reading these responses, I can tell that issues about Indigenous people and race brings up a lot of fear and anxiety for people! It seems like people want simple answers like "the past is past" or "everyone was discriminated against in the past" so that they don't have to feel personally...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Folks, why does this have to re-explained? The reason they don't want duplicate names of stations is for emergency services. In an emergency, you want to make sure that emergency services arrive at the right place, and any sort of duplication could cause needless deaths...

    DOWN WITH ALL SUBSTITUTES!! RIOT FOR CINNABON!!

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    A half kilometer walk is not very convenient. TBH, the whole continued existence of Woodbine racetrack is so mind-boggling to me. People drive to a place to watch horses run in circles and bet on it? This is fun? I don't want to yuck anyone's yum - it's just very strange for me.

    Toronto KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    Those panels have been up for months. They were test panels.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The Rexdale stop seems to be the major difference. I think most councillors, dealing with 900 things that day, couldn’t see what the difference was, so opted for the original recommendation. But also, this is just a recommendation from the City of Toronto’s Executive Committee, and literally...

    That "Life is Beautiful" sign - oooof. That is CRINGE. The sign isn't even beautiful!

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    No, it seems like Crisanti wanted to amend 5b and his petition to amend 5b failed. 5b in its original form stays.

    Toronto 160 Front West | 239.87m | 46s | Cadillac Fairview | AS + GG

    Gumby's really prominent when you drive down the Gardiner from the West - great to see! A fun building.

    Toronto St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Torontonians are very risk-averse! It's not a surprise that our skyline is dominated by bank buildings and accounting firms.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    What do we think the current height of the building is? When is it going to pass the height of the Four Seasons Hotel (200 m) and become the second tallest building in Yorkville? (I know that YV is in the mix here, too - it might be currently beating the One.)

    I'm into those balcony railings! Adds a nice visual texture.

    Toronto CAMH Discovery Centre | 41.6m | 7s | CAMH | KPMB

    Reading the original pages of this thread, there was a lot of consternation about the name "White Squirrel Way"! It all feels so silly now... And, regarding the tearing down of mature trees: there was also complaints about that, too - in Paul Garfinkel Park (the ground was contaminated). I...
