    Great video! Thanks for doing the research and sharing so much valuable information. I've been watching this project develop over the last few years and was hoping for a great green space like Vancouver's Stanley park. It's so disappointing that they almost doubled the units they plan to build on Villiers Island. Good comparison to Liberty village.... Looks like they're building Liberty Village East

    I very much enjoyed the tour of the East Bayfront. I hope the powers that be can allow this area to live up to its potential. You're probably the last person I should suggest this to, but I would love to see someone explore some of the older neighbourhoods that will very soon disappear and be but a memory, due to demolition and redevelopment into new highrise structures. It's a growing list so it wouldn't be difficult to locate them.

In a few words: I love ❤❤❤ your style. It's evident that you're either innately knowledgeable or extremely well-researched. You explain things concisely and clearly. That's a rare trait!

    So all this discussion about how the waterfront is separated by condos and not best used by the city, then we do this? It looks like a complete failure. Liberty Village wraps our whole waterfront now. The housing issue should NOT be solved by downtown Toronto. We are Canada. We insist on bringing in half a million people into Canada, where the vast majority move to Toronto, expecting downtown real-estate that hasn't happened in decades. That is insanity. Barrie, on the GO train line, isn't even adopted for solving any of this. Stop bringing people to Toronto. And as of last week, the new Commissioners west to Cherry, is already backed up. Seriously backed up. Planners should stop thinking forcing citizens into traffic, will get them into the TTC to make it profitable. "Fishing and canoeing" is not an industry.
