@MayorOliviaChow You keep saying creating a “vibrant & dynamic” place. Or “fixing the city”⁉️ But you never get into the details. Toronto needs more than fixing. It needs a major rejuvenation & big upgrades. Starting with the look & aesthetics of downtown. Visitor areas. @CityPlanTO #TOcore

@EmilyFarina5 @JShamess @WaterfrontTO Always a good excuse to re-post this case-study video from @OhUrbanity about this former Federal-Government site in the middle of #TOCore... https://t.co/9jVcgrCtQG

[Toronto, ON] 1983 -vs- 2023, images taken above Yonge & Front Streets looking west towards the #CNtower. Important to remember how much of our now thriving urban downtown #TOCore was once a post-industrial waste-land where almost nobody wanted to live in #TOPoli… ⏳

Starting another great project w/ a @UofTCities Multidisciplinary Urban Capstone Project (MUCP) student team, assessing the #AffordableHousing & #StudentHousing development opportunities on a surplus parcel of City land at Elizabeth & Hagerman in #TOcore! https://t.co/oqkDmZfAbk

@jen_keesmaat I participated in the consultations for #TOCore Having read the final plans it’s clear you prioritized the profit margins of developers rather then the well-being of thousands and thousands of people. It’s a blueprint for displacement.

No word of a lie, the reason we created #TOCore was because I was worried the toilets wouldn't flush on superbowl Sunday with all of this density, in the absence of clarity as to how much growth we could really accommodate and the infrastructure needed to support this kind of growth. (We were worried about park space and transit, too, hence #RailDeckPark and the King St Pilot). Anyway, we did the planning. Toliets will flush.

@shalimar_street @BABFairview @LegalWillowdale @PasternakTO @clc_sic @NorthcrestDev Yes, 100%. #Downsview master-plan area is MASSIVE plot of mostly Vacant-Land with 3 x TTC Subway Stations & a GO Train station. Equivalent land-size to Downtown #TOCore from Bloor to Union Station between Spadina & Jarvis, ALL of it owned by Governments or Public-Sector Pension.

Easy 10 KM afternoon #Ebike ⚡🚲 trip from Foundry block at Lansdowne & Davenport down to the @DistilleryTO district at Mill & Parliament via @BikeShareTO. Faster, cleaner, cheaper -- and more dependable than TTC or Uber when crossing #TOCore... plus easy, free parking docks..!

1/ "Toronto housing prices in September, 1973." CONTEXT : 50-years ago was a LONG time ago. 1973's "undesirable" parts of Toronto - are now highly-desirable locations in 2023 (eg. Broadview & Danforth) near subway stations - and close to #TOCore. CPI (1973 $) = $396,078 (2023)

Seems Ottawa is ahead of Toronto in ambitious planning for beautiful pedestrian spaces.🙌 Aesthetics do matter for public spaces & outdoor patios. #Toronto needs this vibe downtown👇 Then hire more people. Hire the best people. #CafeTO @GreggLintern @CityPlanTO #TOcore #DTadvice

@Penalosa_G Gil, real-world #MathMatters. Your height, density ideas & aesthetic-preferences around new-build #AffordableHousing in #TOCore are as INCORRECT in 2023, as they were during your 2022 mayoral run. City surplus-site on 125 ESPLANADE = Minimum ~25-Storeys https://t.co/CuEH6Fm1hX

Hey, Councillor @joemihevc - our volunteers are happy to chat with your team about some viable #AffordableHousing 'build-above' options for the Library site at 125 ESPLANADE.. Thx!

@JessicaBellTO 3/ ...in a City of almost 3-Million people, that also serves as a Medical, Legal & Business hub for a Province of over 14-Million people, there is a legitimate need for available "Furnished Short-Term Rental" options in #TOCore that are NOT part of the "Long-Term Rental Market".

@geordiedent @AdamCF @MoreNeighbours Maybe I know hundreds of families from around Ontario who 100% depend on "short term rentals" in #TOCore to use as base-camp accommodations for weeks & weeks while family members are awaiting medical treatments at our University Ave hospital cluster..? https://t.co/BUQIK1zGLX
