Comparing it to communism is a bad argument but it does go against the free market. And before incentivizing builders in any way to somehow build cheaper living options (ie: paying them to cover the difference in what they'd make at market rates) I'd much rather spend a fraction of that money...

There is plenty of land in places where civilization already exists or exists nearby before any barren outpost will start to see any sort of modern colonization - St. Catharines & Niagara for one, the region of Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge/Guelph for another, and eventually I think the holiday...

Thank you. The 30m separation distance is something I was not aware of so, yeah, definitely a downside there.

Any idea why they couldn't have negotiated with the city to get rid of the northward jog Dupont does west of Dufferin and line it up on both sides? That would've freed up a lot of land to the north of Dupont for further development. Seems like a waste as it's too narrow between Dupont and the...

The OL should bear north on Dufferin up to Eglinton. That street has become a disaster for everyone. Not sure what subway line you could direct toward Humber Bay, though. It will likely need that capacity but there's nothing on the way between that area and an existing or planned (OL) line...

You make very good points. The Jane buses (up to Steeles) combined averaged 43,500 weekday riders and about 17,000 on weekends in 2014 (most recent stats I could find). Meanwhile, the Dufferin buses (up to Wilson Stn.) averaged 44,000 weekday and about 33,000 weekend riders. Dufferin also is...

It of course depends on the time of day but you'll get plenty of daylight on that patio.

Would you care to share some of the things you enjoy in the area? I bought at a time when the area would work for me employment-wise, but things have changed and I'm going to evaluate this long-term based on whether the area is worth the long commute for me. I'm familiar with the area but...

I'm in Block A any my occupancy was August 1. Guessing that's going out the window.

I'm trying to see which stacked blocks you're referring to. You mean on the side of the H&M?

It's a giant pain in the ass. The upgrade fee wasn't that bad, anyway.

It's too cold. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll swing by with the Nikon.

I hope that's the case (sorry haha) but I doubt it. I'm at the very north of the project so it wouldn't shock me if I wind up delayed almost a year. This is getting old.

Thank you for the fridge info. Holy crap, July?! That is terrible. I haven't received anything since the notice pushing it to mid-March.

How much was the icemaker fridge?

Haven't seen any 3 BR's for sale, but there is a 2BR/3Bath for sale asking $499,000 w/90 sf patio.

Didn't get a call for it last week. Feel free to describe how it goes; I would love to have an idea of what to expect :)
