Don’t you have to use a HELOC to actually derive any benefit from it though?

on a personal level she sucked because she was constantly driving drunk and it's shocking she never killed anyone on a professional level she's the sprawl queen. absolutely beholden to property developers (her son was one) and was on record stating we should open the greenbelt.

I figured Mississauga sprawled because the airport was there and they 1) could only build so high, and 2) obviously there would be lots of warehouses popping up around the airport.

Frosted Flake posted:Was Pearson built before her tenure? naw it's sprawl because people want detached homes; pearson is only an issue for a small part of the city. there are mid and high rise condos here and our "city centre" is starting to look like a real city these days e: pearson is old and dates back to the 1930s

Most of the big warehouses/distribution centers are built around rail, like the giant yard in Concord (Vaughan).

also, north Brampton. there's no rail, or anything else for that matter, but the land is cheap.

so is Winnipeg just like a bad place? I was there for a couple of days and it was a lot sketchier than I thought. I was reminded by multiple people that “this isn’t Toronto” and to make sure I don’t leave anything in my car (as if Toronto is known for being the safest place in Canada) it’s a really beautiful city - the area around the parliament reminded me of like a cross between Moscow and Quebec City. Huge roadways leading to historic buildings. Museums. I went to the Forks, but… Where are all the cool areas you guys always talk about? I feel like I needed a local guide or something I’m going back in search of pierogies

Downtown core clears out after 6pm. The Forks is neat but also clears out in the evening. Osborne Village was neat years ago when I lived in the city pre-covid. My suburban chums liked Corydon Ave

I've lived both in Toronto and outside Toronto and the impression people have of this place is either gilded city on the hill or crime ridden cesspool. There's never any in between. I have a friend who just decided to move back to Toronto after a few years in Winnipeg, where they'd moved for affordability reasons. That blows my mind, it must be pretty rough over there.

There's never any in between. there’s definitely noticeable homelessness and poverty. I saw a tent city the size of the one on Jarvis despite the fact that it’s not really a big city. went to a Liquor Mart (I still lol at the name) and they buzz you in to a vestibule where they scan your ID before entering. it was wild

I’m in northern bc, we have visible poverty & homelessness and tent cities comparable to much larger cities, and top the list of cities provincially for crime stats year after year. tho it’s basically a meme that this is a ‘bad place’ (even tho actually living here isn’t so bad), but since it helps keep things affordable it’s a fine distinction to carry. Winnipeg is fine imo, I like the place. I’d consider living there if it had better provincial & social services OldAlias has issued a correction as of 17:36 on Oct 3, 2023 |

poverty and homelessness doesn’t make a place ‘bad’ tho, we just need to hang enough politicians and responsible parties to fix this affordability crisis
