For those of us that live in Toronto and have experienced Palmerston and City Place; Kensington Market and Metro groceries it's so obvious that another set of condos built by a giant corporation are not what we need. You can call me cynical all you like, I'd rather have my city move in the direction of Europe (Vilnius or Paris) than Manhattan or Tokyo.
Count me as one of the many happy people that this fell through, even though I'm generally positive about Google's other enterprises.
- nickff 7y agoWhat is the difference between the four cities you mention? At least three of them have been restricting density, resulting in steadily increasing prices.
- thinkloop 7y agoI would guess skyscrapers vs. 4 stories. West/East Village in Manhattan are generally considered the most pleasant and they are skyscraper-free.
- ehsankia 7y agoWhat is the source on Sidewalk Labs planning to build skyscrapers? The definition of a skyscraper is over 40 floors, the most I see in any of the mock designs are at most a dozen floors. Sure it's not 4-floor either, but Quayside is fairly small so if they put 4-floor apartments, you'd maybe fit 100 people total.
