I certainly would not want to live in such a city. Fortunately, Toronto is not that city.
"sterile soulless streetscapes create sterile, soulless, robotic humans"? Wow. Talk about absurdly overblown generalizations.
who would want to live in a city that has no sense of its history?
Dubai is the parable of what money makes when it has no purpose but its own multiplication and grandeur.
As someone who lives at King and Portland, replacing "Dubai" with "Freedville" makes a frightening amount of sense.
A historical property is one where a school might take children on a fieldtrip to say "look, this is where Alexander Mackenzie slept in 1860." I just don't see what makes this building so important. It looks like something you'd see in Detroit.
Though "Freedville" is stretching it, relative to "Cityplace" or something.
Taxpayers.
To be honest, 'taxpayer' refers to an incredibly wide spectrum of the city's population. I would much prefer 'the ignorant' or 'the apathetic' instead.

Careful, jje1000...Ramako might take your comment out of context (as he did with mine) and suggest - through a funny, yet disparate cartoon - that you're just a latte sipping bicycle riding pinko all because you believe - as I do - that preserving our history for it's own sake has value.
