The RHC lands are about 20% smaller than Langstaff Gateway which has 15,000 units planned. That works out to 12,000 for RHC which fits the upper bound.
Which part of Richmond Hill is this measuring? As with most of Southern York Region and Toronto, the elevation gradually increases as you head north, so Southern Richmond Hill is much lower than say Northern Richmond Hill (This also means you can see the CN tower even from as north as Bloomington Rd if you have a clear sight-line on a clear day)With Richmond Hill's elevation of 233m versus Toronto's elevation of 76m, those people in those towers will have a great view and look down at Toronto.
Maybe, possibly, yeah.Do you guys think there is any hope to add one more station to the subway extension? Do you guys think it is worth building this project with two less stations because the people living in the corridors will have worse service and probably hourly or half hourly bus service increasing their travel times. Do you think this project is worth it without the stations?

YRT needs to improve the local bus service on Yonge between Steeles and Hwy 7, once the subway opens. Viva services will no longer operate on Yonge south of Hwy 7, leaving a large gap from Hwy 7 to Clark. That gap should be filled by the local service running once in 10 to 15 min.
Steeles to Finch isn't that bad, it will have TTC #97, plus #42 and 125 south of Cummer / Drewry. Ideally the mid-block station at Cummer or Patricia should be added, the area is full of highrises and the usage will be pretty decent. But it is not a deal-breaker.

That's allegedly the plan.
That won't end well. Yonge Street is 5 lanes large and having dedicated bus lanes would narrow traffic down to 1 lane per direction, and that's a very heavily trafficked corridor. Unlike Morningside with RapidTO, you won't be able to get away with squeezing car traffic that much.Perhaps YRT could paint red lanes along Yonge.
