i'm of the opinion that geographical names evolve organically. so i don't know what's up with Toronto City Council's lame attempt at rebranding low-income/at-risk/pre-gentrified neighbourhoods with these self imposed and artificial names.. but this one definitely takes the cake:

I think out of all the new names they could've come up with....University Heights is pretty "unsuited" for that area lol....

Kitchener used to be called Berlin back in the day!!!

More political correctness. They should stop wasting their time on this and start filling the potholes around town.

they shouldve called it Transaction Heights instead....

It’s just one of a rash of areas suddenly being renamed or having the word “village” tacked on the end of it ala Liberty Village… and it's getting really tacky

could you imagine Regent Park "village" or The Gay Village-Village

A lot of Yorku students live in those areas, but I don't think that is enough to rename it.
