I meant there are already lots of buildings in these area like Peter and Richmond street, and it’s unnecessary to have more new buildings in this specific area, I am not saying don’t build any new condos, some areas needs development for sure. After I moved to my current building, there are already 2 new condos have been built in this area…if you live here, I think you would be unhappy too if they keep building new condos, cause it’s really noisy during the day.

But what I am saying is that I think city Toronto need to do a better job of approving the construction of new condos especially when some neighbourhoods already have enough condos occupied…however, this is just my opinion, if you disagree it’s ok, and you don’t need to argue with me. I mean I cannot decide anything anyway lol.

You bought a condo, you didnt buy the neighbourhood. It is not up to you what someone else does with their property. Our fair website doesn't look kindly upon gatekeeping, so that’s where the backlash is coming from.

At the end of the day, you're welcome to have whatever opinion you want. It’s a free country. But opinions like yours, expressed across every neighbourhood, and in every sector of the economy, are what has turned our country into a vetocracy and has strangled our prosperity

To paraphrase a contemporary Canadian leader: growth needs to be a question of “how” rather than “if”. So if you wish to be an advocate, advocate for better city infrastructure, amenities, urban realm, etc. You’d be more likely to get what you want, and our community would be better for it!

Besides growth here is based what The City has concluded is reasonable even if the determination of such is occasionally flawed, instead of ones' personal opinions about it which is rarely ever right or informed in the matter. Just saying...

For what it's worth, I agree that density should be spread out more through the city instead of being endlessly concentrated in a few spots (we already have a few problematic areas like that). For the rest, I'll just defer to Koops' post above.

That’s what I meant, but maybe I phrase in a wrong way in my original comment. I’m more concerned on the density issue in certain areas. For example, the potential construction of 111 Peter street, but I think city Toronto has already approved the motion…(there are already three buildings in that block)

To be fair, this Pierre building doesn’t really have density issue, cause there is only one condo in that block.

Well, I would advocate better density in the neighbourhood, and I think I didn’t phrase properly in my original comment. I don’t really oppose new condos, some areas need development for sure, I am more concerned with density in certain areas, when there are two many buildings in one block, it may have issues.

But I agree, in downtown area, no one owns the neighbourhood, so like you said it’s not up to me to decide what other people/developer to do with their property. However, I do think city planning can do a better job of city design, and better community/neighbourhood (i.e. proper density, better amenities etc.)

I am new to this site, and thanks for your advice, I think I will be more careful when expressing my opinion in the future. I didn’t realize it’s not proper to say that, at least in here. Or maybe I should phrase better.
