^ Seems silly to have to hire a security guard to monitor a walkway no? AND once again, the trees don't have adequate grates to let water through. Those are way too small! In Toronto especially, they need to be big. Guaranteed by end of summer, those trees will be dead.
They need be like this. This is how you grow a healthy tree.

I agree, how are the trees supposed to get any water? Are they being irrigated?

Yup. The front door to Uniun lies about 100 feet away. A direct neighbour to Fashion House is Everleigh.

Please note both club locations were there long before this building went up...so no complaining about the noise. You should have known you bought a condo next door to a nightclub. Lol

Ummm, these trees are going to be just fine. They are fed with underground water lines. Better than your picture.

The noise bylaws apply equally to all parts of the city. No club is excluded.

Enforcement? How effective is that?

And what about when the drunk and howling (mostly) 905er's exit the clubs onto the street, greeting people they have not seen in the past few minutes like long lost friends at the top of their voices? So the clubs maybe put up a sign (maybe) to 'Please Respect Our Neighbours' - but once the patrons are out the door, they wash their hands, behaviour of people on the street is not their problem or responsibility.

Why would you live in this part of the city and expect anything less? The club scene, regardless of how annoying you think it is, is exactly what makes this area desirable for many.

The club scene is dynamic, moves around over time. It does not stay in one place forever. There are many people living in areas prior to the club scene moving into their neighbourhood. What do you say to them? Too Bad, Tough Titty - time to move out?

In our case, we purchased well before the club scene came into our area, pushed out of the Simcoe - Spadina district by the redevelopment there. Fortunately, it appears that the club scene is already in the process of moving on from the Spadina to Bathurst area, moving both west and north from here.

Funny, but I thought it was the massive reinvestment in the area resulting in many businesses that do far more than sell booze three nights a week. Then there are all those residences being built and inhabited by people who like to live downtown instead of commute there. They have regular jobs and don't necessarily like being woken up by some drunks screaming every weekends at 3:30 AM. People who live in the area don't have to put up with others behaving like clowns or idiots. Just because you think they should have to put up with doesn't mean they should.

Clubs are a rather small contributor to the local economy. You might want to consider the two-billion dollar a year media sector located area. That kinda beats what clubs contribute - particularly when adding the five million dollars in added annual policing costs that clubs produce.

Reinvesting in an area known for clubbing! There are many other areas to live in if this vibe doesn't meet your requirements. You don't buy a place that borders the entertainment district and expect anything less. I have friends that live in this building and purchased their unit for this very reason - they are young foodies that definitely like the party scene. This area meets all their requirements.

It's like moving by Yonge and Dundas and complaining about noise. Ridiculous.
