I think subconsciously you do. And I might add, that you're very well-spoken for someone who is only sixteen.
There is no way adma is 16. I wish I could articulate that well

Think of it a little like those who've had a yen for the grittiness of pre-Giuliani Manhattan, and tried to seek reminders of it wherever they could--the Chelsea when Stanley Bard was still in charge, or wherever else...

Haha I agree adma comes across as a 60 year old, not a 16 year old. Articulate perhaps, but also overly verbose and he has a constant need to draw analogies into every single discussion. Very knowledgeable and sometimes valuable member, but couldn't make a succinct statement/argument if his life depended on it.
Even if they preserved these heritage bldgs. and incorporate them into this development, it still wouldn't fly because of its sheer height...too many individuals nervous about that.
Shame, considering this is a "one in a lifetime development for this city"
Are you being serious or sarcastic? Poor immigrants freezing ln the Canadian hinterland - dramatic if anything.
In my heart of hearts I suspect people from Africa, Caribbean, South America, Asia are not as comfortable standing around in 0 Celsius at 7am. But that isn't politically correct since all people are identical everywhere in all respects. LOL
Haha, thanks for that Adma! In great form as always!
The irony here (which has generally not been discussed) is that these buildings could have easily been demolished and turned into parking lots ,strip malls etc. in the early 60's if not for Ed Mirvish. Eventually Ed purchased this entire block to compliment his original purchase of the Royal Alex, which at the time, was slated for demolition.
Adma, not sure I follow your subway argument about Scarborough. No one is saying Scarb cant survive without a subway, rather its extraordinary difficult for middle income earners stand in the cold and line-up for buses into the core. They deserve better. I have a dog in this hunt, I live in the core, but I don't like recent immigrants having to deal with unnecessary hurdles, esp in winter.
The subway plan actually means that people will have to wait for the bus at 7am, get on, and ride it to the nearest subway station. Much fewer people will live within walking distance to a heated station than with the alternatives. Many of us who actually have been car-less immigrants out in the suburbs at some point in our lives preferred LRTs for exactly that reason.
