Best I can do is promise not to smoke meth in front of the kids and guarantee that toilet paper will be used at least 60% of the time for any bathroom trips. Still hiring?
The transit agency will shutter service on Line 1 Yonge-University between St. Clair and Sheppard-Yonge for the first two days of the long weekend, reopening on Monday, May 20, by approximately 6 a.m.
TTC barely runs during the week when getting people to work, and when its needed the most for local Torontonians during the weekend it just chooses to shutdown entirely.
A transit system like the TTC should be designed to move people around in a city during their normal day to day lives, this includes weekends for shopping and relaxation? Not just work.
Is the TTC only to get people to work? If so, maybe workplaces should be funding it more?
Talking about work life balance, our non-working hours are just as important, if not more.
This feels like unnecessary noise. Yes Shoppers Drug Mart, like corner stores, sell food at a large markup. They’ve always done this, they know that if you’re picking up food there you’re willing to pay a convenience markup.
Shifting any focus here gives Loblaws a potential out by just reducing prices at shoppers, which has nothing to do with what we actually want to happen.
Because it is amazing to live downtown where I can walk to dozens of different great restaurants and shops, work and anywhere else I need to go on the average day. If I have kids they can get around easily without needing to wait until they turn 16 and can get a drivers license.
City life isn’t everyone’s preference but it is clearly desirable by many people. $1M is a huge price tag but if you can afford it and you want to live in the city then you will pay it if you need to. Many people do.
The only hope is that with supply increasing the price tag will start dropping. Additionally to dropping price of current stock hopefully builders will start targeting lower pricepoints as well. (Right now most of the new condos are targeted at more “luxury” audience because it is more profitable, now that the market has been saturated other markets will start to be addressed.)
Have they tried building average, affordable condos instead of luxury condos?
All the new condo developments I’ve been seeing everywhere are more expensive than a townhouse nearby, and half the size of nearby apartments that are also half what the mortgage would be on a 1-2M fucking condo.
Pretty sure they can do away without the penthouse pool and hot tub and bring the price down, but it wouldn’t be nearly as profitable for them so they won’t.
Nobody is actually trying to help lower home prices because everyone’s retirement plan depends on houses being unaffordable.
Luxury needs some heavy sneer quotes. They are all made of low quality materials and then they put a stainless steel fridge in there and some quartz counters and call it luxury.
Yup, bought a townhouse, and paid a premium because the finishes were very nice, and everything looked good, even passed a pre-purchase inspection by someone with a lot of industry experience.
The tub leaked three times and ruined the ceiling in the dining room each time. The shower wasn’t properly waterproofed, so that was a $35k rip-repair-replace. None of the furnaces had proper condensation drains, so my upstairs neighbour’s A/C unit dripped condensation into my hallway for 4 days while we were on vacation, ruining the walls, causing mould. Our unit’s A/C was mismatched - the outside unit didn’t match the inside unit, and for 4 years we were constantly repairing it, until I spent $12k to replace it. There was a bunch of other small shit, but if I ever lay eyes on the builder, I’ll punch him in the face.

They don’t want to, because that would mean less money. If they slap some cheap faux marble and an extra sink in the bathroom, they can charge tens of thousands of dollars more for the same space.
The rich will not accept making the same or less money for a year or so. They have to have more. A lot more.
Condos need to be built for families, give me more three or four bedrooms in the city, and make it more affordable.
Condo developers can’t build these affordable three or four bedrooms though, because on average these layouts are about 20% larger in size to their comparable European unit layout. This is all to due to building code, and something called “point access layout” vs “common corridor layout”.
If we could get more families in the city buy making costs comparable in sq/ft to a single family home in the suburb we could make cities more enjoyable and give people a better sense of belonging, as opposed to just commuting in for a few hours.
The food basics near me rips you off a different way. They purposely leave expired items on the shelf long past their date. Every single trip I find multiple items that are weeks past and they’re still front and center. If you don’t check the dates religiously, you end up with a few things that are expired. I’ve complained to the store and head office and they don’t even respond, they couldn’t care less.
They also never clean the produce racks, I’ve been seeing the same muck and stains for months
And they’ve been selling frozen/thawed bread as fresh. When I go buy English muffins or fresh bread. I find many of the bread packages are cold and half frozen
Developers made condos as tiny as humanly possible, to the the point where a bedroom could just barely fit a queen sized bed into it with nothing else.
That because they aren’t primarily meant for people who buy them to live in, they’re just suppose to be flipped after a few years by investors or rented out.
