Toronto's rise hurted Detroit way more than it hurted Montreal: Toronto has a large uneducated but well paid labor class due to its automobile industry, which led to Toronto's rise as a financial hub,all of that at the expense of Detroit. If Québec separatism hurted Montréal, it has long recovered from it, and most real Canadien companies are still headquartered in Montréal, such as Air Canada, Bombardier, and of course, CN!!!!! And there's never been a time when Montréal was close to be in the New York-Paris-London-Hong Kong league.......

That is good, cause honestly, Toronto just had way too many land wasted per one household before, and it’s totally understandable cause it wasn’t really a huge city back in time. But now since Toronto is getting more and more population whether to be immigrants or locals from the country, Toronto is definitely witnessing it’s mage city transformation, and such a city building method just isn’t applying anymore. That’s the reason why properties are getting more and more unaffordable in the city. It probably won’t be long before GTA region hits its 10 million population soon, and getting more high residents can definitely help with the current situation.

@@algonquin91 no idea, but until the avg person switches from using square feet as their indicator for size of a condo, I’ll be sticking to the accepted norm

The city is going to look so weird with one tall ass building next to the CN tower

[@ocirontariocryptidinvestig8010]

they ruined the skyline already when they let the view of the sky dome from center island be blocked by those shitty condos

Love this kinda content

What are your thoughts of removing The Royal Alexandra Theatre on King street to build a condo?

[@riseofazrael]

No way, it's a beautiful theatre and there aren't too many around the city anymore. Plus it gets frequent use year round, and is used heavily for TIF as well.

Toronto is magnificent 👌 would like to see Montreal with the current and future projects including REM project.

[@torink8229]

Toronto is okay, montreal is my fave out of the two tho.

[@nova9672]

Montreal has height limits for their skyscrapers

[@lgee9027]

Lord I need a super lotto winning ticket!!!!! I want one of those condos🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alextran9370]

Honestly Toronto condo skyline I feel will have a huge pivot in the next 2 years. They will move away from smaller condos to luxury condos for the baby boomers.

[@lucasS0724]

Aren’t there plans that the Rogers Centre is going to be demolished and a new one is going to be built somewhere else?

[@artvandelay3840]

Nothing concrete. I believe Covid put the kibosh on the Jays building a new stadium. It's possible something will happen in the future, but for now, nothing is imminent.

Montreal is so behind.

[@RedroomStudios]

Montreal is saving its charm and character much better than Toronto so you should treasure that.

[@mitchwinthrop]

well done.

Yesssss. They have had extreme growth these last years. Hopefully the Dundas BRT will get approved soon.

I was born here in Toronto in the late 60s, and I’ve watched my city slowly be devoured by ugly glass and steel boxes, with no aesthetic appeal, but most importantly, far too short. City Council, for whatever reason, is absolutely terrified to approve anything over 300 m tall, and given how precious land is, I will never for the life of me, understand why they constantly reject proposal after proposal, simply because they’re over 300 m tall, claiming that it might cast a shadow, of course it’s going to cast a shadow! That’s part of living downtown, if you want to see the sun, then live in the suburbs, this is one of the biggest cities in North America, we cannot allow such a stupid, irrational, and pathetic excuse to stop us from taking full of advantage of what little space is left available to build upon. Yet every single time a beautiful proposal for a super tall building, which is defined as any building over 300 m tall, is submitted, they instantly reject it, terrified it’s going to cast a shadow on a park, or a street...DUH! Of course it is, almost every skyscraper downtown already does just that, it’s an embarrassment on the international stage to have a city that is terrified to build over 300 m tall. They claim that the CN Tower is supposed to be the focal point, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard in my life, every other city in the world doesn’t hesitate to build taller buildings around iconic structures in their own cities, yet our idiotic, antiquated city Council, remains in the dark ages, it’s time we got rid of the fossils that are holding us back, and bring in someone with vision, who can actually make Toronto a world-class skyline, perhaps even regain our title of having The worlds tallest structure once again. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen anytime soon, because God for bid common sense actually takes president over blind ignorance. Frankly, I’m amazed they actually approved “the one” at Young and Bloor, because it just barely exceeds 300 m, I don’t expect too many more like it. I guarantee you, anytime an incredible proposal is put forth, city Council will, without fail, turn it down, and demand but they shorten the proposed building, and it drives me absolutely nuts! When, if ever, are these people going to realize that this is not a small hicktown, but a major metropolis?! Idiots!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@nanaokyere7141]

Yeah it's very annoyinh and frustrating how they've gotten this far with cutting down almost every super tall tower in Toronto to just under 300 or 289m. It's absolutely ridiculous that shadowing is the excuse.

[@RedroomStudios]

seriously - that is your main complaint? there were several towers in this video over 300 metres. the cost of building above that height can not be justified in Toronto - not enough customers could afford the prices.
