Some people prefer automatic guns, some prefer legal hunting rifles. We still regulate based on safety risks, not preferences.

I like what other countries do where purchase taxes or registration fees are tied to vehicle weight/size. Bigger vehicles pay more to reflect greater damage and risks.

Automatic guns weren't a danger in this country when they were legal compared to large vehicles, though. SUVs are far more dangerous to the general public than guns.

Exciting but I gotta ask: are there requirements/limitations to getting a top level suite in a high rise senior's residence? Or are there limited mobility 80 year olds out there that are expected to run down 16 flights of stairs in the event of a fire? Genuinely curious, had thought the same thing about Glenora Park lol

I'm pretty sure they'll be given parachutes.

In office buildings, people with mobility issues wait in the elevator lobby on their floor until the fire department can reach them via elevator or the stairs. This is practiced during drills. I imagine the same thing would apply to residential.

^ I think the protocol is a waiting space within fire-protected egress stairways.

Built by Eagle, right? If so, that must be their first high-rise project, ever.

It's been 20 years now since this started. A concerning timeline for all LRT stops/stations throughout the city slated for TODs. Good to see some glimmers of progress I guess.

Re: the parking, I understand it, given the lack of current transit connectivity. There is no nearby bus or LRT station. (This is loaded with sarcasm, because if a parking free street can't make it here, then it really can't make it anywhere)

There is still a very suburban car oriented area surrounding this, who would also make up a number of the customers for the businesses here. Yes, some may take bus or LRT, but others may not.

Urban development allows cars so i don't see any problem with this, just hurry up and get it done!
