Neither of those have anything to do with a building’s absolute height.
There are beautiful one storey buildings, and ugly skyscrapers in the world, and views are dependent on a unit’s elevation relative to the height of neighbouring buildings.

To be even fairer, the Scarborough RT replacement wouldn’t have taken any space from cars and would be running by now, but the Fords still cancelled it for a subway.
Which has resulted in road space being taken away from cars for the “temporary” bus service that the delays have required.

That’s true of all building heights up into the three-digit storey count, so not really a useful statement…
As long as these achieve a population density that can support transit, walking and local amenities, why /should/ they build them higher in this context?

I’m with you. These were straight-up murders of innocent people, but if describing it as a war crime makes it easier to lock up everyone involved for the rest of their lives, go for it.

It’s not a war crime, because there is no hostilities in which the occupants of the boat could have been combatants, so it’s plain old murder by the members of the US Navy who carried out the order and those up the chain of command.

I misread that as “lobbyists”, and it’s gonna be so much of both, including the province just on-the-fly rewriting laws in response to municipal campaign promises that their friends don’t like.

It’s a surprisingly good match given this administration’s general incompetence, but the “N” appears to be a different face that’s missing the top-left and bottom-right serifs.

In theory, garden suites allow empty nesters to move into a right-sized & accessible new home without leaving their neighbourhood, thereby freeing up the old 3+ bedroom house for rent to larger households.
Do you know if there are any stats or research about whether that’s happening?

How is this meaningfully different from me asking for a black coffee, then saying no I wouldn’t like cream or sugar in it, no I don’t want to upsize to a large, no I don’t want to make it a combo, and no I don’t want to add a pastry, which is certainly a thing that happens?

Yep. They say maybe in a later phase, but I’m still worried that the elevated station at Eglinton & Don Mills will make it impossible to ever do so because of the CP mainline directly north of it. :(

I think you’re making the mistake of looking at these through a purely construction cost-optimization lens, and are missing that they’re actually desirable unit layouts that might appeal to people who want something that feels more house-like.

I’ve never met a family that complained about having too many bathrooms…

The dimensions of the building might force a different than desired unit mix or layout if they were single storey units?

And many people prefer to have bedrooms on a different level than their living space in single family buildings, so why wouldn’t the same be true in multifamily buildings?

Slower, less frequent and with longer walks to stops.

It’s super effective!

Because it’s in line with all of the other ways Carney’s been weakening Canada’s environmental laws since the day he entered office…

And financially wasteful, given the advanced state of the worldwide shift towards renewable energy.

His response to the courts determining that his election gag law was so unconstitutional it couldn’t even be saved by the notwithstanding clause.
