What makes some people think downtowners aren't going to use Metropolis or shop there?
I live downtown and I'll certainly use the theatres and I'm sure that when I'm in the Yonge-Dundas area that I'll pop into the food court every now and then. The restaurant patios above Yonge St. certainly look appealing.
While most would agree the design itself is lacking - the actual entertainment/commerical land-use and retail facilities are perfectly suited for Yonge and Dundas. And people living downtown will spend money at Metropolis. Same goes for Best Buy and Canadian Tire down the street.
Why is there some kind of urban myth that urbanites won't eat, shop or be entertained at similar establishments as suburbanites (in an urban format of course)?
