10000% and none of them realize they're telling on themselves. 😂

I dunno, I'm queer and white presenting and still feel justified in being annoyed at the name they chose for reasons others have raised more eloquently than I can here.

The square itself is second rate Times Sq at best, but I suppose every city needs one. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Every time this city NIMBYs I think this must be the most NIMBY thing ever, and then it goes "hold my beer eh" and NIMBYs harder.

So, kind of like most zoning bylaws? 🙃 (Only being slightly tongue in cheek)

Oh gosh right?

Like yes, it could be worse. I live without owning a car in Toronto but I have to rent one if I want to visit my dad because it's 30min drive and TWO HOURS by transit.

We suffer from mediocrity and a lack of imagination plus a dose of obsequiousness to King Car

That could describe any city in Ontario, sadly

The use of the verb "attack" does not imply in any way that such an activity would also be accidental, so colour me confused.

I dunno, despite the leadership being sketch, Ontario got rid of a lot of appeals, requires upzoning around transit stops... There are some good moves in there. Hopefully this is one?

Seeing women as human beings? That's like....gay or something?

😩

Car-dependent suburban sprawl is the most publicly expensive approach to population growth in human history. #UrbanTruth

Ontario is proposing to get rid of large lots. Thoughts?

Find a third and make it best 2 out of 3?

Join a union. ✊🏼

Punch back. 👊🏼

Yep I've been RTO-5ed and it's all about beefing back up the dividends of all the big REIT and pension fund and hedge fund portfolios.

We are plebs all of us, including the white collar workers. Anyone who has to draw a wage selling their labour whether brain or braun is a worker.

✊🏼

Given all the issues w government procurement across Canada, I don't see how we could possibly make procurement MORE job patronage-y.

But can the dogs drive to the Grenadier cafe, Diane wants to inquire....

In all seriousness people need to grow TF up re off leash doggos.

Americans are weird....

Did the owner get an AGI too lol.

I'm fine with this for the record, just cracking a sarcastic late stage capitalism joke.

We also have intensification targets that municipalities fill by sticking all the new development in tall condos on arterials because "stable neighborhoods" are sacrosanct. In Ontario anyway.

Sorry best I can do is cut development charges in half for everyone.

Surely that won't end up in sprawl. ...

...

Y'know, *waves hand* by magic or something.

Until the govt sells corporate sponsorship for the names.... Get ready for Rogers Station, Ted Rogers Stop, and Weston.

Or is he a Z cusp alpha kid, I dunno. He's a kid and he sounds like a blockhead brainwashed by incel culture.

Gen alpha has dead eyes and I can't even.

😂😂🤣

Ugh, I suppose zoning could finally be used for something that isn't quite as racistly classistly evil as most of what zoning has done for the last century....

Enshittification 💩

What, all those millions allowing them to sell alcohol a few years early didn't save their entire business?

That's effectively what they are though, the concept of a secondary plan doesn't exist in the Planning Act.

I pretty much agree with you I'm just wondering how to convince towns and stakeholders that "do things this way"

Well either the builders pass on the savings or they don't sell homes in this climate.

Generally fanning demand side flames without increasing supply of a good or service pushes UP prices though, no? (Especially something as inelastic as houses)
