The Future Of Toronto Housing? Introducing Parkshore 

We need stronger public transportation to support all of these developments. It's not just about building # units, it's about building a MOVING, BREATHING community.

The city has never done a development like this without completely screwing it up. All you have to do is look at Regent park and Atkinson coop to understand that none of these people are interested in good overall design. These developments while they look ok from the "architectural" standpoint, did nothing to address the density of the public housing element of those areas. Meaning, they created the gang environment but decided to ignore it when they approved the redevelopment. (Go ask the police about Regent park violent crime during the past 15 yrs. Hint crime is not changed in Regent park area.) High density public housing/poverty/troubled families all in one area equals disaster. Not only did they do nothing to diversify the economic demographic of these areas, in particular the Atkinson coop, they added NO market family housing units to the areas. Market family dwellings is what the city needs desperately. But the city councillors want to virtue signal by giving the poor everything nobody else can afford. Think I'm exaggerating? Again, look at Atkinson coop development. The city is building 350 townhouses for the public housing residents on the most expensive land in Canada in downtown Toronto and creating NO family market housing. They did the same thing in southern Etobicoke just east of Brown's line. Pile in public housing and little else. The only good development in the past 40 yrs is the one in the distillery district area and that was run by the province. They had a master planner, hired great architects, and probably didn't stick their nose into the process much. But again, it didn't bring family dwellings into the city. Which brings me back to the idiotic councillors at city hall. We have hundreds of kilometres of main streets that are built up with 2 or 3 storey structures, yet the city councillors have consistently teamed up with the local NIMBYs to block every boutique condo proposed for the last 30 years I've lived in downtown. They even block development over 39' on city core side streets... they block anything that isn't their pet project public housing garbage. Good Luck getting anything done through the city. They are completely clueless.

Umm okay cool. Hopefully this can include waterfront restaurants and cafes. Like one of those cool restaurants you can pull your jet-ski right up to and have lunch. Maybe an underwater restaurant similar to the aquarium tunnel where you can see local aqualife like the asian carp, green algae, and discarded plastic bags. As a matter of fact you could dike the water AROUND the buildings like a moat, and have a drawbridge that leads to the conceirge. and you can fill the moat with freshwater crocodiles who wear tuxedos and stuff. Anyways just my 2 cents.

i love people like this. out here thinking big and making life better for others.

The very first sentence is a fallacy. @Tom how many people per home right now? How many people per home in the year 2000?

Sorry I dont like this plan. There is no transit planned for the area and you are eliminating great green space

yes lets build more on the waterfront where nobody can afford. actually, its canada, so lets build a luxury condo and let refugees live in it for free. take what the rents would be and just subtract it from the tax the developer owes... no big deal right?

I dont get it. Who is he developing this plan for at the moment? The city? For fun?

💯

They cut rates, way to go Tiffy....Steve was wrong

right, like Torontonians were so proud of cityplace.

Not For Profits are very political… sad.. but that’s just the facts 🙄
