It might be boring but it will still be good to see this area densify.

Will it? Dufferin here is arguably the most congested arterial road in the city, this isn’t really that close to the subway, and there is little in walking distance from here beyond the mall. It’s far from the best place for this kind of density if you ask me.

The corner at Lawrence and Dufferin is a vast improvement. And that isnt really close to anything. This is directly across from yorkdale, which is expanding itself, and a relatively short walk to a GO bus terminal, a TTC subway and one of the best malls in the country. We shouldn't avoid building because of the fear of congestion on dufferin. Either way that street is always going to be busy. At least we can surround it with nice buildings which would be far nicer to look at while sitting in traffic than car dealerships and a Holliday inn.

not any worst of what they built are building and planning up the West Mall/427 in Etobicoke?

Yeah. What do you do at west mall and 427. Go to Woodbine and or honeydale mall. Plus the transit situation would be a nightmare in comparison. This area has a hospital, downside park, yorkdale, and a subway. To me it might be ugly but it has tons of potential.
 
It is right next to a highway. People looking to buy here will compose of households looking for a compromise location between suburban and downtown commutes.

These will sell. Many households fit that demographic. Being close to Yorkdale is an added bonus.

This hotel is where my cousin from NYC, who was managing for a retailer, would also stay at because of its close vicinity to their Yorkdale store. It was always a pain to navigate to and get into by car. Especially if you order an Uber, and the driver has no idea how to enter.

Often virtual direction apps will advise you to take the entrance along the back sidestreet, Bridgeland Ave, which is easy to miss and even worse if you have to turn back and drive through to the long blocks of the industrial area to the west.

You can technically enter through Dufferin Street as well, but you have to drive through part of the Honda dealership first.
