All of these things they quote as reasons to oppose the project are made up concepts that have no basis in objective "good" the same way density or housing abundance do.

People who oppose housing always speak out of both sides of their mouths: Building condos? That's luxury housing when we need affordable housing. Building affordable housing? That's going drag down the value of the neighbourhood and will bring and are dangerous to my children.
Ignore both claims.
Went through French immersion in school and it was one of the greatest gifts my parents ever gave me. 12 years of intensive French classes at an age when I could learn it easily. I consider myself fluent in French now and love Quebec culture as a rich pillar of Canada.
I feel so lucky to have such a likeable, fun baseball team to root for, y'all. What a goddamn delight they are.
We love to see it.
Iβm glad to hear youβve asked them to explore interim solutions. All it should take is some blocks and jersey barriers between Queen and College. As it stands now, the sidewalks are verging on dangerously crowded. Additionally, why can we not do Dundas to college before 2030?
They've studied, consulted and voted on it like three times. I don't understand what theyβre waiting for and frankly I donβt buy whatever excuse theyβre giving
It's extremely frustrating how they've voted to expand the sidewalks on Yonge but still nothing has been done. Interim extensions would do wonders! @chrismoise.ca
The city is so close to being an amazing pedestrian place... Which I've been saying for the two decades I've lived here. Progress has been... delayed.
Front street should be pedestrianized from Bay to Jarvis and make it one of the best shopping/public streets in the city.
Foresight? Yeah we have exactly four sites where you can legally build an apartment
Why do some people believe they can live in a city but their neighbourhood will never change? Because their councillor tells them that

This is what ground floors should look like.
The all-glass ground floor design tend needs to send. It's killing the pedestrian reason.
In my book, it's morally bankrupt to make families with less money live on 30,000 cars per day roads.
After seeing kid rock in that fedora, the evidence has officially piled up to a degree that can no longer be ignored
MAGA played the branding game and lost. They are full cringe. The scent of bitch-ass loser has clung to them and wonβt wash out.
Woke is back, baby, and itβs giving wedgies
Cruelty is the point.
Good. Decisions need to have consequences.
People in Northern Ontario (and possibly Manitoba?) refer to a fully serviced building on a lake as a camp. Cottage is a southern term. Both are correct. Lake house, however, is wrong.
"Cabin" and "Camp" remain acceptable terms according to Canadian context. This is targeted at our so-called friends to the south.
Importantly, Canada's soft power is strengthened by asserting the term "cottage" as the dominant term for a house by the water in the woods. "Lake house" users, you may concede gracefully.
New subway map just dropped
As you can see, there is simply no more room for housing.
Another piece on the Finch West LRT, this time on how we could make it better with extensions. Read it now:

The White Houseβs insistence on using Sabrina Carpenterβs work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public
Q - Why, given all the terrible things happening in the world, do people care about this?
A - Micro-analysis: They see it as an example of government overreach and bureaucratic cruelty towards an independent farm. Macro-analysis: The world is getting dumber every day.
I am not a crazy ideologue. I just think that the richest society in human history has a moral responsibility to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, treat the sick, and house the homeless. If doing that requires forcing comfortably-housed people to accept neighborhood change, I'm ok with that.
Itβs honestly wild how few townhomes exist that arenβt right near a highway. We force every bit of density right next to noise and pollution, and keep the quiet areas reserved for the rich who can afford detached houses.
I canβt emphasize enough how ridiculously inequitable & regressive this is
It's kind of sad when she used to be such a hard line environmentalist, but doesn't seem to make the obvious connections between housing, transit and sustainability.
Drivers barely even slow down when they hook turn on red these days. Half the time they don't even try to stop before entering the crosswalk. It's an epidemic of bad behaviour on behalf of drivers.
