We don’t agree with Nick Kouvalis on much, but we do agree politicians need to have principles and that Brad Bradford has none. Brad went from a progressive who voted to defund the police to courting MAGA supporters. Why should you trust his word? Listen to Kouvalis yourself ⬇️

They don't & we cannot. There's just no return on two storeys of res over retail that would give anyone appetite to do it. You'd also need the City to take land & subdivide it so small lots are created out of large parking lots. We simply cannot recreate the old urban patterns.

At least it was an awful thing that everyone hated and wanted gone so I guess he was right…oh wait… What a fucking loser through and through.

Also the fundamental driver is always going to be small lots. If the city isn’t willing to cut big parcels up, it’s just not going to happen from first principles.

That’s because ‘development’ as an endeavour depends on return & Line 4 & the Sheppard streetscape are perfect reflections of that return-based reality. What you’d get from doing something small / “urban” isn’t going to be worthwhile in the current cost / benefit calculus.

Crazy. Did the TPA also put out a statement about Brad that I may have missed?

Where did he practise planning? He was never employed in the private sector and didn’t work for City of Toronto Community Planning, he was a gopher in @jen_keesmaat’s office. And she’s endorsing Olivia…

My moneys on “never”. The things that are required to make a nice little ‘city centre’ don’t make financial sense anymore, hence we get malls, towers, and tract suburbs. The most you might be able to hope for is some ersatz Potemkin village in the Square One parking lot.

We should always shoot high, but there ain't no way in any lifetime we'll be as good as Paris.

Clearly nightmarish. I pray Broadleigh Bradderickford can be our saviour on Monday!

Shooting the shit at the park with other dudes is almost painfully normal. But aside from that it’s wild that Brad’s ilk find it cool to publicly express this anachronistic, early 2000s homophobia on his behalf. Now there’s a group who nobody should be talking to at the park…
