You've described a correlation above, in regards to his Premiership and the number of buildings that were constructed during that time. That is not the same as causation.

I never made such a statement...that post was simply countering the post saying that Harris's policies never had any impact until he left office, which is glaringly false.

At the same time, I don't think you can claim there is no direct connection between serious neglect of infrastructure and development.

Logically no.

However, we've continued to seriously neglect infrastructure and development since the Harris' days, and yet we are having the boom we are having. :p

It is going to cause us trouble down the years, no doubt. Yonge Line is over-capacity, the DRL needed to be build yester-decade, we continue building communities like Liberty Village and Humber Bay Shores without the supporting infrastructure, and Jennifer Keesmaat is already warning us that the utilities along the Yonge Corridor between College and King, as well as in Midtown, cannot support the projected highrise developments slated for the areas.

Sometimes I wonder how this city even functions, let alone support the boom it is having. We must be laying on a nest of golden eggs or a spiritually blessed First Nations ground or something.

Not really true. During the Miller administration, serious infrastructure investments were made, including securing $12 billion in upper-level govt funding for transit, which saw ridership growth every single year of Miller's tenure until it started dropping again as soon as the Ford administration took over and again gutted investment.

Is it all just a huge coincidence? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.
 
100 metres is where it makes the most sense to me to start counting. It will add a huge number of buildings, but if you're up for the work, it'll give the reader of the list a far better sense of how many tall buildings there are in Toronto.

I agree. It makes more sense than 120, which is rather artbitrary.

Consider it done. Getting started. Rough list puts an additional 133 buildings on the list, but I'm sure this will grow with additional proposals.

I'll also have to re-jig the stats. Re-writing some of those formulas man...
 
While I continue populating the list, is anyone good with spreadsheet functions?

I'm trying to create an IF formula in the 'District' column that is dependent on the 'Ward' column (so I just have to input in the ward column, and the formula takes care of the rest):

If Ward # = 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 --- District = "Toronto-East York"
If Ward # = 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34 --- District = "North York"
If Ward # = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 17 --- District = "Etobicoke-York"
If Ward # = 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 --- District = "Scarborough"
​
I tried to create the following nested IF function, but it isn't working.

=IF(OR(E43=14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32),"Toronto-East York",IF(OR(E43=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 17),"Etobicoke-York",IF(OR(E43=8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34),"North York",IF(OR(E43=35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44),"Scarborough"))))

Can anyone help?

EDIT got it to work with the following, I'd be happy if anyone was able to simplify; It does not seem reasonable that this is the simplest way to form this argument.

=IF(OR(E43=14, E43=18, E43=19, E43=20, E43=21, E43=22, E43=27, E43=28, E43=29, E43=30, E43=31, E43=32),"Toronto-East York",IF(OR(E43=1, E43=2, E43=3, E43=4, E43=5, E43=6, E43=7, E43=11, E43=12, E43=13, E43=17),"Etobicoke-York",IF(OR(E43=8, E43=9, E43=10, E43=15, E43=16, E43=23, E43=24, E43=25, E43=26, E43=33, E43=34),"North York",IF(OR(E43=35, E43=36, E43=37, E43=38, E43=39, E43=40, E43=41, E43=42, E43=43, E43=44),"Scarborough"))))

It has been done! This is now The 100m List. The list itself, the stats and the map have all been updated.

Not claiming this is absolutely complete. I got tired of scanning for potential new listings after 20 pages of the buildings thread. There's also likely proposals with multiple towers, with the tallest above 120m and others in the 100-120m range. As always, if you do find something that should be on the list but isn't just leave a message here or tag me in the relevant thread.
 
is the list city of Toronto only? or GTA? because 100m is short enough that there is a significant amount of suburban stuff that likely gets missed.
 
BTW, the site plan application for 2 Gibbs Road phase 1 has the height of the 31 storey tower at 102m, enough to make the list.
 
With the addition of 8 towers from Pinnacle Etobicoke, the 100m List has now punched above 450 buildings. In addition, a few weeks ago, both wards for Toronto Centre—Rosedale (27+28) punched above 100 total buildings each, with over 60 of them being completed or topped.

Another thing that Pinnacle Etobicoke made me realize is that the list has quite a few towers for a single development with the same address listed. When these get mapped, that means pins are being stacked on top of one another. So I will be going through and differentiating some addresses over the next few weeks, purely for mapping purposes.
