    Cant buy much these days with $300k

    Rent and save $$$. Half the people in the city do. You don't need a car and can enjoy all the benefits of living downtown. Rent a car when you want.

    MLSE paints illegal sidewalk ads

    I agree. Another obnoxious (and ongoing) practice by MLSE is to spray paint the sky with their stupid searchlights, as if it's their own domain. "Look at me! Look at me!" It's about as welcome as the jerk next door who plays loud music disturbing neighbours.

    Do you use a bike for transport in the city?

    Over 16,000 km this year! Hey, that's more than coast to coast and back again!

    I completely agree. It would prevent selfish motorists from parking in bike lanes. More importantly, I believe the would be perceived as a LOT safer and you would see fewer selfish riders on the sidewalks. In short, its a win for cyclists and pedestrians. A physically-separated bidirectional...

    I love animals, but anyone found guilty better repay before I give another nickel to the THS.

    ...Now if only Toronto Hydro would fix up that soulless substation next door. All over the city, they put up buildings to blend into their surroundings. Here, it's just an bland grey wall, with a littered lawn frequented by dogs relieving themselves and one or two homeless campers. Despite a...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor Street Neighbourhood Condos | ?m | 32s | Cresford | Northgrave

    I wonder if anyone purchasing a unit at BSN is aware that now and then the TTC runs a very LOUD exhaust fan at the Charles/Hayden parking garage. How loud? You can hear it a block away!

    Another waste of space is the parking lot fronting the Beer Store on Church, just north of Wellesley. In fact, that whole northwest corner is ripe for redevelopment.

    Toronto Toronto | Casa | 147.52m | 46s | Cresford | a—A

    This afternoon, as I walked by, a van parked at the church next door starting backing into the street. At the time, a worker was finishing some work on the sidewalk. It got very tense. The sidewalk guy hit the van with his trowel and started yelling at the driver. Clearly, both were at fault...
