There's a reason that midtown and even Yonge North has seen all the residential development it has. And that's transit....more specifically the minimal time spent on transit. I agree that the subway won't do much for SC in terms of development. But the LRT wouldn't have done much on this front either. If you look at where people want to live, it's largely a function of travel time to the core. With the subway, SC becomes about as attractive as Finch Station. The LRT and current SRT make SC about as attractive as basing at a hypothetical Hwy 7 station. Applying LRT to the SRT corridor is also a deviation from the "Avenues" concept. Most of the SRT corridor is either industrial or low density housing.
Families in Malvern don't really care about your highfalutin ideas about making STC attractive for development. We just want to get home in time for dinner with our families. As it stands now there's nothing for us north of the 401. I can't believe I'm saying this but Miller's plan was better for the M1B than these half baked solutions peddled by the career polis like Tory.
You do know the LRTs can be extended after they are completed as a first phase? I would like to see them extend them further out, maybe to the Toronto Zoo. They only will be getting so much in capital funding, which takes them to where they indicate. Give them more funding, they'll extend it.
Personally, if they could just tear down the Gardiner and replace it with a boulevard, they'll have the capital funding to do just that. But, they rather waste it on their precious hybrid option.

If you have the money, near your job and willing to up root your family life style and friends.You do also have the option of moving closer to existing mass transit.

Need better service period and get what was promises to them in the 70's.
It's doable if you prioritize it.
