8 d. ago Obnoxiously huge Ontario Place parking garage will block Toronto waterfront

The provincial government has released the final plans for its controversial Ontario Place project, unveiling dozens of new renderings that include a glimpse of an aggressively large parking garage that would form a wall between Toronto and its waterfront.Ontario is pressing forward with the contentious project, which notably includes a vast publicly owned parking structure that the province claims "will generate revenue for the province and help the public conveniently access Ontario Place's many attractions.""We're rebuilding Ontario Place into a world-class destination for families and tourists, with convenient connections for visitors coming by car, GO train or the Ontario Line's nearby Exhibition Station," said Premier Doug Ford on Tuesday.It appears from renderings that "car" is the operative word in this equation.Among the over 30 newly released renderings, the province shared just two images of the enormous parking structure that &md...

The cost of living in Ontario may still be completely out of hand, but at least the price of something in the province is going down: rent.The price of the average Ontario apartment has been on the decline for months, including in cities like Guelph, Barrie, Mississauga and yes, even incessantly expensive Toronto, which now boasts the lowest rents it's seen in years as the housing market crashes.A sharp rise in supply amid a drop-off in demand across both the real estate and rental markets — especially when it comes to condo units — has been a huge force in reducing prices in key markets across Canada, with year-over-year price reductions now reported for eight months in a row.In Ontario, prices for all unit sizes but three-bedrooms plummeted year-over-year yet again in May, according to new stats from Rentals.ca and Urbanation, released this week.Chart of how the provinces measure up when it comes to rent prices...
