The fees never cover the increased costs of infrastructure.   Taxpayers end up subsidizing the condo towers.   There are studies of studies that conclude high-density residential never covers its impact and taxpayers pay more to make…

Parade was awesome. Kids had fun. Congrats to the organizers.   Time for Rob Ford to hang up the Don Bosco football jacket or maybe get one in his size?

I saw their storefront. Lots of full colour window graphics/signage. It's actually quite nice. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. LOL@ Peter on the Cheetos comment.

I will also be there. I believe there is middle ground to befound here. You can maintain the same level of low cost housing and even addmore with the right development. Look at the buildings on 10th St. and look atRegent Park. Both are great mixed…

I have to chime in here to recommend  Pearl Sushi in Mimico. We have had it a few times now and it's been really good and the price is right. We have not tried the Sashimi only the Sushi though.

Agree - this is a big step forward for Mimico. Let's hope there's more of the same to come.

Peter Kearns replied to Aaron G's discussion 'New development planned for Mimico'
I agree that this is a great step forward.  Actually, anything that gets rid of some of the low-rise apartments along the Lake Shore is a huge step forward.   With the 10 storey buildings closer to the street, I don't believe…

I think this is a fantastic step forward for the whole area, I am only hoping that people can see past the 'change shock' which seems to be prevelant to areas such as ours which in the end only hurts positive growth of the community. …

No Mark I got the illustration from the website. I know people that rent in the buildings there. The gardens and houses are nice. The houses are used for apartments I think. I'm always on the side of population density and building up. I think…

Wow – I've lived around the corner from Douglas St. for 5 years and I never knew there was some kind of formal garden and fountain down there (I'm looking on google maps now)!  There look to be a couple of houses tucked in…

Take in account the new buildings will be much higher then the existing apartments. The second link I put up while only an illustration shows this. I would think they would be the highest buildings in the immediate area.

Did I read this correctly?  They want to wedge the existing apartment load *and* 1,500 condos into that space?   Yikes.   History aside, that's a lot of shoebox-condos...
