snips from the news bit:
Total of 1,484 residential homes will be built on a former commuter parking lot
The development will include 444 condos and a mix of one- to three-bedroom rental homes that will be available to residents of various income levels.
Green said the four-block community that will be created will include a childcare centre, community space, retail space and public park.
In a news release on Tuesday, the city said crews have already begun to remove parking infrastructure to prepare the site for development. Construction is set to begin in the spring, with occupancy expected in early 2029.
When does Ford declare the homes not good enough for rich folk and have them torn down?
“This building project interferes with the beauty of the existing landscape of my commute to Queen’s Park” - Doug Ford, probably.
Right? The constant vigilance municipalities need just to deal with Provincial interference is exhausting, because we know they’ll interfere with anything that might make life better for us and take money out of his bosses hands. And even when we do catch him out, it’s not like we can shame him into doing the right thing. Mr. MZO just lies and keeps following orders. No consequences. Instead, he gets reelected.
Brilliant that we have a mayor who’s able to get anything done, given what we’re up against.
Saw a commercial the other day, from the pcs, about a liberal mayor who raised taxes.
“Taxes taxes taxes” was the line.
Maybe because the provincial gov downloaded all the taxes to them.
But the average voter doesn’t remember that.
So, now we have a provincial gov that cuts services, makes municipalities pay for it, then interferes with the city, then claims the mayor is the baddie.
Fuck. This. Shit.
