I'd say it's prime real estate, just not the best shops. But they will move if they don't get the business they need to make money. Although even just being there with the signage probably makes up for any loss of the stores operations.
Until people stop being bleeding hearts it will just get worse. The poor poor drug addicts. Let's give them free hotels to stay in and free food. It's a sad state we live in that homeless and mentally unstable people are literally making feel unsafe to simply walk around downtown.
It really does need to be cleaned up. It is not a safe area. I've never once thought to go to Moss Park to hang out or go for a walk. I'd rather go elsewhere. And this is my own community. That is sad.
I'm hoping that gentrification will change the area.
I really don't think that Healthy Planet will do well in this location. I haven't been, but I'm picturing overpriced expensive products that most people can't afford right now.
Ya, it just gives such a good visual representation of the progress. Yes, photos show that, but it's hard to tell which floor they are at, and see exactly how much is left.
What do you mean by that?
Do you want Toronto to become like US cities where crime is so rampant that stores are closing? This is not the city I want to live in. We need to stop with this craziness and start doing something about it before it's too late.
We definitely need more police on foot walking downtown. Having visible police does deter crime, and the right police that say hi to you when the walk past you and are friendly and smiling would make a world of difference in making people feel safe.
This building gives me the heebie jeebies lol. The cantilever just looks impossible. I can't wait to see all the windows cleaned, and all the trimmings finished.
So when I looked at the blueprints on the City website, it shows this as a spiral staircase. So is this going to be a glass enclosed spiral staircase entrance to Apple, or just to the PATH? Or something else?
