Queens Park, Yonge Street, the Water Front should all be show pieces. But they aren't. They're just awful. At the rate we're going they will never be fixed. Perhaps having an attractive city it too elitist for poor old socialist Toronto.

Fun fact: the most beautiful cities in the world are deeply libertarian. Wait, what?

Out of curiosity, have you been to the waterfront in the past year?

Yonge Street is Toronto's meeting place. It is where all cultures and peoples come together with a shared love of titillation and discount luggage. And that is only really between Dundas and Bloor. A few more years and it will be wall-to-wall Ardene and La Senza Girl mall stores.

Queen's Park is not even remotely awful. If you think Queen's Park is awful, you might be surprised at what passes for awful in London and New York.

As for the waterfront, perhaps you are unaware of an organization called Waterfront Toronto: they appear to have passed under your radar.

Yeah, but as a well-entrenched Torontonian who can appreciate such places for what they are (to whatever degree), I'd probably even run rings around you in appreciating the many-faceted, high/low diversity of what New York or London have to offer. So I actually happen to be ahead of you going the *other* direction...

Maybe it's just me, but this post spanks of ignorance on so many levels...
