Why must you both say extreme things while doing absolutely no research, even so much as reading through the thread properly, or reading the publicly available engineering report?
I happen to be an advocate of relocating the OSC; a controversial take here, but not as proposed by the Ford government, and not in the way the Ford government has done it.
We need to start from an honest position and assessment of the facts, not a contrived crisis.

Let me help you catch up on the reality here.
The City of Toronto had a building inspector go over the building, as posted here, by me:
I don’t know about others but the main building would be perfect for a museum of transit. I know it’s very much far fetched but that parking lot space (north and south) would be perfect for a trolley track layout. Take a modern LRT to here to ride and experience the city’s historical...

As someone very much open to moving the OSC..... I still find the manner of its closure contrived, and offensive.
That some people defend it reflexively without having given due attention to the actual reports (I've read the entire engineering report, did you?)......is disappointing.
Its ok not to know all the answers........but its not ok to pretend you have them when you don't.
