You bring up a good point. Nobody needs to live in any specific location. There are always more affordable and less affordable places. Hence the claim that we have an affordability crisis is a sham. You don't always get what you want.

That was quite the arsed non-sequitur, goodness...

Well, if there's one upside to the Court being profoundly short of staff; it's that fewer of them are getting injured by falling fixtures, finishes and furniture!

This is absolutely pathetic, let me guess it's Toronto Hydro isnt it?

It almost seems contemptuous at this point. How can it be so difficult to coordinate utility work? I get there are emergencies and surprises, but it just happens so frequently. I also don't know why the city can't or won't mandate that the streetscape is returned to its original condition. Waiting until the next replacement cycle with asphalt patches everywhere is unacceptable.

Not sure if that will be the case here, but I can say there are probably asphalt patches that could apply for heritage designation by now.

This looks to me like the final repair/replacement of the concrete cross-walks.

there were dug up areas that aren't part of the concrete walkways, you can see one to the right of the walkway in my pic. Contractors weren't Toronto Hydro

i simple detail that would add a minor design plus, would be lighting the toothpick spire at night. (if it's not already done which I haven't seen).

This is my final update from today. I was struck by how this building looked in the glow of the sunlight. The shadow of the Canada Life building was a nice bonus too.

So in it for the crusade and not really for the issues?
