I mean…

I mean, when your average homeowner can’t bring their renovations in on time and budget, what could we reasonably expect from a large bureaucracy?

I think it’s pretty much gone Surprised we haven’t seen more brick

It’s likely lost amongst all the great posts. But is there a topographical map of the green space? I’m curious as to where we get hills and plains.

This just feels like a personal attack now 😡😕😖🫣🙃

I would now like to petition that this be turned into a Laser Tag Emporium. Three storeys. All laser. All tag.

Just horrid. Especially how it faces such an epic little park. It’s like putting the garden of Eden against the far wall of a Costco.

So, if they’ve indeed topped off this section. Will this crane be coming down soon?

Municipal bylaws state that any project within 15% of completion must halt progress and only move ahead .001% per lunar cycle. It’s part of the “wait, wait! It’s too late now but are we really sure about this” program, which is in its 11th year of its pilot phase. If all goes well in the next 9...

Looking warm in the early morning sunshine

Alex is going off on Paula Fletcher on Twitter about Villiers, and it made me think about this clip I watched last night (ymmv). Nobody wants to buy overpriced studios with stunning views of your neighbour’s floor to ceiling window (and vice versa) go figure. So there’s a glut on the market...

K. So again I’m confused. Because the last time I questioned how many stories this podium was supposed to be- someone had helpfully pointed out that it would be 9 stories on the east. Except now it’s looking like they’re doing a 10th?

St. James Town happened when what- money and community investment pulled out over time because folks didn’t want to live there? Whether Villiers gets thicc with density, or keeps the world-ending two lane streets 🙄 I think the unique properties of the project might make it tough to succeed...

Are car dealerships temporary? I dunno. The one at Front & Trinity, which ended up taking over the Green P “temporarily” years ago seems pretty comfortable where they’re at. The actual dealership left for the DVP some time ago but still stores their stock there. I guess they must make waaaay...

Just finding it hilarious that folks will froth at the mouth if we’re not building 45 storeys, 2m apart, no podium setback, “affordable housing crisis” after all. But be like, “nah, another dealership will be fine” We built an island with three ways off, but one way is across a 900yo bascule...

Ca-chunk! Ca-chunk!
