Was that the case before amalgamation? Somehow I think if amalgamation didn't happen, Scarborough, North York, and Etobicoke would still be luring business away from the downtown core with some sort of tax incentives.In the end I am beginning to think the cheapest way to fix our transit issues is to redirect businesses to places we want growth through reduced taxes. SO for instance if they reduce the taxes to 905 levels at yonge and Eglinton then alot of new businesses will end up somewhere we are planning transit. The same goes for yonge and Sheppard. If you reduce taxes enough that businesses start to move in at yonge and sheppard the sheppard line starts to make more and more sense. PLus Torontonians stop losing these businesses to the 905. I wouls put dundas west in this category as well since its served by a subway and potentially 2 GO train lines.
