In 1995, I had a bumper sticker that said “My Canada includes Quebec”. It’s 2026 and “My Canada includes Alberta”. 🇨🇦

Transformative city builder Frank Ghery 1929-2025
7 Jun 2023
“We did it!” Frank Ghery quietly said as I congratulated him at the ground breaking of his King West project. Over years through a hiatus that saw the site sold to today’s development group & all the complexity, Frank remained centred on the need for transformative design.

Editorial alt title: Toronto leaves door ajar for corner stores. Makes one wonder how many Globe subscribers would have once appreciated picking up the paper by walking to their “corner store” (& how said subscribers may now correlate to the neighbours opposing this change).

It’s worth reading and not so much wrong as overly pessimistic. IMO an outcome that resulted in (admittedly limited) permissions when there were none is not “closing the door” to me. Sure, I wanted the door thrown wide open, but now it’s slightly ajar and light is coming in.

Toronto Council considers whether it can make life a little easier for more people in more places - a decision that can bridge generations and communities, instead of dividing them

If you could walk a few minutes to get the milk you forgot for your kids cereal or maybe you need chocolate chips for homemade cookies because your grandchildren are coming over - this city can work better for all generations when life is within reach secure.toronto.ca/council/ag…

Nothing sells on social like complaints - Spent about 7 hrs in Etobicoke waterfront parks today w/ family including 2 year old (@TorontoPFR manages 400 parks in Etobicoke alone) - thousands of people enjoying generous open space, great kids play areas & natural beauty - so sad

Need for workforce homes a trend line through Toronto’s history - reading “Modest Hopes” (D. Loucks & L. Valpy) about early working-class neighbourhoods, now gentrified, thinking of post-war suburban expansion for workers & ambitions for plexes to help meet today’s housing needs

Want your kids, your parents & family, your employees, your barber, your teacher, your PSW, your nurse, your local store clerk, your choir leader, your baseball coach, your mechanic, your bus driver, your best friend - do you want them all to live in Toronto? Why wouldn’t you?

New from me on @Spacing: Council this week has a chance to greenlight sixplexes in residential neighbourhoods. The sky will not fall. In fact, this move represents a generational opportunity for council to repair Toronto's troubled housing market. spacing.ca/toronto/2025/06/2…

Place making through great urban design gives cities a competitive advantage attracting global investment & talent - removing urban design from development review is an “own goal” Ontario should avoid thestar.com/news/gta/ontario…

Email newser @TorontoStar headline: “How Toronto lost control of its multiplexes”. Cites couple of outlier examples of multiplex proposals. Really? Why not headline entrepreneur small builders who are going after the housing crisis themselves making multiplex homes happen?
28 May 2025
A midtown multiplex plan is irking neighbours. Their issue: noise, traffic and the $2-million-per-unit price,
The Committee of Adjustment quashed the plan, but builders are moving ahead with a revised version. trib.al/wBteKic

Yeah - I have a bias. It’s very simple. I’m in favour of more housing choice for more people in more places.

Nothing “artificial” about a country that suffered the loss of thousands of French & English Canadians & Indigenous people in many wars, fighting together with others, to preserve the rights & freedoms of all Canadians - fundamentally the opposite of “very little meaning” 🇨🇦
