isn't like the whole "trendy lifestyle of living in downtown Queen West area" about the proximity to all those place they want to shut down?! |

| I'm confused. First the article says the places that are open can make changes to fit patio's etc but new places cannot. THEN they say that the owner of a place on Ossington (forget the name) is limited to having a patio b/c of the laws coming into effect. Which is it?? |

Time to bring in the heavy:

Extend serving hours until 4am, and TTC service right through Friday 6:30am to Monday at 2am.
It's 4am in NYC and the idea of getting drunk before close, then leaving immediately after doesn't seem to exist. People drink and leave at their leisure. This would ease off the late night crowds, provide more revenue for establishments, and make getting home safe (in a cab) much easier as there is no 2am rush. |

seems like they don't understand basic sociology... young professionals move to the city to work, be close to entertainment, restaurants etc. then move to the suburbs to raise a family and make the daily commute. so eliminating what attracts these individuals to the core results in a boring and dying city |

not everyone who buys these condos are yuppies.. I'd say about half or so are 905'er empty nesters looking to downsize and be close to downtown amenities (and by that I mean restaurants, theaters, shopping, etc. - not nightclubs specifically). And with the large aging baby boomer population, it's only going to increase.
this whole issue is basically a generational war

Unfortunately for us, our generation does not sit on the council. |

Then it's time to change that.
Anyone here looking into running for municipal office? If not, I'll start in February. Why February? Because I'm lazy, just the kind of person perfect for politics. |
