Cassidy.. I get you. When theEast Harbour transit hub (your tax dollars) was planned it was for union station east - a financial district hub serving land zoned for employment-only by the city. There are 300 acres of residential available one block south. Adding residential to east harbour (cad Fairview still says they will build the full office too) is an $800m profit gift to the developer - they paid for office-only land. And it is an added density burden on the community (traffic, etc). What do we get in return? Ask mr. Ford but I bet he gets paid first. I agree it will likely be sterile, because that what business does.

I am an animation student so I strongly resonate with this Cassidy. It's staggering because there are expected to be 50,000 employees on this site but I would like to know how us artists will be considered within that context of workers. We are employees who need space too!

Themes I want discussed are plenty of artist studios, parks, open space, cool architecture and patios.
