I will qualify my ‘yes!’ with admitting I am more tolerant than most of short-term inconvenience and place innovation on a high pedestal as well as knowing the Canary/Distillery well. The parks and remaining infrastructure (Don Roadway) will be complete by June and virtually all services are available just outside The Portlands. I see development advancing very quickly as this is on the Lake and has a pretty awesome network of green spaces.

But who is to know as there is always risk involved but this particular project in this new waterfront area checks all boxes for me. And I like the potential for larger appreciation than the great but already picked over neighbourhoods you mentioned.
 
Appreciate the insight, @rdaner. For me, if there were some 'steal' to be gleaned here (larger units, lower psf, etc.), I could see it, especially since you mention appreciation. However if the numbers are the same, I just couldn't see it working for my family and I. I do appreciate your breakdown though!

So what would be the closest stop on Ontario Line for this site?

This is nice and all, but I'm at a loss as to who is going to pony up to live (or rent out) here? Low end, they're going to need $1400 to cover costs (BTW, this is a paper app, nothing more. I'm just speculating on all the proposals coming to this area), so they're expecting folks to pony up pretty serious money to live in a completely disconnected former industrial zone with 10-20 years of neighborhood and infrastructure work to go? To me there's *0* value proposition there.

Well, that was all of the waterfront in the 80's...

Somebody has to be the pioneer.
 
It sounds like the inner space is being seen as flexible for a number of uses. For example data centres.

70s. And I don't disagree that Bob's gamble on the waterfront wasn't incredibly prescient (He also had to sell, partially because he was too far in advance). But, dude, this ain't that.

0. Less than zero. Are there any complex math folks on the forum? What is the least, most-negative-zero thing there is? Like quantum physics levels of 0.

For the purposes of calculating probability, there really isn't a number below zero. (in QM there are examples of negative probabilities, but they aren't approachable in the real world to my understanding)

In classical physics you can describe negative infinity with this symbol: -∞
