They should be able to present a credible business plan outlining this, right? The problem is that we're all just speculating because of the opaqueness of selling (let's be real, a 99-year lease is tantamount to selling) prime public land. I see that the there could be a credible argument for...

Not all public land is always publicly accessible, correct. You're missing some of the obvious objections to transferring prime public land.

Ontario is ponying up $400M a sweetheart lease of absolutely prime real estate in a massive growing city. It boggles my mind that some people think that this is the best we can get for that. Or even an adequate return on that investment. Either people lack imagination or cynicism has worn their...

Adding to the AGO would be fantastic. It's a great museum and embiggening it would only be an improvement. Going to a big, imposingly impressive museums in other cities is such a great experience. Haven't been in a year or two but, when I went last, the MOCA hadn't really taken off in terms of...

I was very skeptical when they started adding the spandrel but, as someone who walks by it every day, I have to say that I'm completely won over. There's something about the colour or finish that works quite well when you see it in person. No idea how it will age but I'm really enjoying it now...

How do you fix a sinkhole like that? They've patched over it a few times and it's come back.

How high is the park in relation to this building? That should help with this a bit, right?

Dairy Freeze is a very busy and popular spot during both the day and night. It's really great for that intersection that there's a well trafficked place there. This condo will definitely help but Dairy Freeze does a surprisingly good job of keeping it from being sketchy at times.

Knocked down the presentation centre. Don't know what that means.

Who is responsible for it looking this bad? Is it an issue with the design? Is this value engineering by the developers after the design is finished and accepted? I'm clearly naive on the topic but can't really wrap my head around on how people saw these mismatched bricks with big gaps between...

Not sure why they put up that barrier at the parking lot but at least they're not kicking people out of the parking lot anymore

Ana spoke great -- especially her discussion on the 'character of the neighbourhood.' It's a great way to frame the YIMBY argument. She sort of (but not completely) answer Northern Light's second question. Overall, it would have been a lot nicer to get some meat and potato answers rather than...

If there's actual demand in the area to fill up a 50 floor tower, then I think the detached home is the problem and not the other way around. I know it sucks for the family living there but it's also far better for the many more people who now get more affordable housing.

You suggested upzoning the yellowbelt. I think that's quite different than a citywide move away from overzoning. Upzoning specific areas still being prescriptive about density rather than letting the markets create supply where people most want it. To be clear, my question wasn't meant to be...
