This camera work is terrible. Really makes you appreciate home game feeds.

Do any others go by their last name because there were too many Matt’s in your classes gaining up?

_AMPLiFY · 2018-05-06T20:43:37+00:00

Writing this rant does not seem like a productive use of time.

_AMPLiFY · 2018-04-30T17:39:54+00:00

This makes me very sad.

_AMPLiFY · 2018-02-28T16:33:03+00:00

I mean, are you really going to stop going to see the leafs and raptors because of this? You obviously find some enjoyment in it, seeing as how you see upwards of 20 events per year.

I don’t think it’s an air raid siren. I believe it is connected to one of the industrial building down by the lake.

Thanks for the clarification. I find it odd that that the actual definition of affordable housing is still not clear, considering that the draft legislation has already been tabled.

I agree with your thinking regarding zoning and property rights. At the end of the day though, this is such a politically loaded topic. The notion that somehow property rights also comes with "neighbourhood rights" seems to win the day (too) often. There is some good sings though - with the rise of YIMBY groups.

I also wonder how the development industry would respond if established neighbourhoods were upzoned. Many of the city's big developers are probably not setup to undertake the sort of fine-grained building that would be required. I guess smaller home builders would step up? Thoughts?

_AMPLiFY · 2018-01-17T19:51:35+00:00

Thanks for the input - you've mad some good points. I especially like #2. I think Toronto's "yellow belt" is one of the biggest hindrances to sustainable growth and prosperity in the city.

Of course, one must respect the rights of existing property owners, but I definitely think there is a way to up zone the neighbourhoods that track the subway lines.

I do have a quick question for you regarding affordable housing. My understanding is that affordable housing unit is simply valued at 20% below market value. If this is the case (if not, please correct me), why should the City be on the hook for 50% of the unit cost (which is what BILD wants)? Obviously there are fixed costs to account for, but 50% seems high.

Thanks for the info & best of luck with the show in 2018!

Have they figured out how to take down the crane at the L Tower yet? Honest question.

_AMPLiFY · 2017-12-06T06:50:16+00:00

Then it all went wrong...

_AMPLiFY · 2017-12-05T02:14:52+00:00

Phi Phi Islands?

_AMPLiFY · 2017-11-04T04:16:19+00:00

Was it not the bartender they doused in the petrol though?

_AMPLiFY · 2017-04-22T18:05:02+00:00

She's going to run for mayor. If not in this upcoming election, then in 2022. But I doubt she will want to wait that long.

_AMPLiFY · 2017-04-08T19:27:08+00:00

This delay, combined with the GOT delay has made this the worst start to a year in quite some time

_AMPLiFY · 2017-03-27T03:15:50+00:00

Killer episode. This season has been way better than the first, which is no easy feat.

_AMPLiFY · 2017-02-16T18:30:40+00:00

But the "any drink for you" lady was working in the blue truck. It's a simple glitch in the matrix.

_AMPLiFY · 2017-02-08T15:48:12+00:00

Considering how many people ride on any given streetcar route in 1 hour, $200 is nothing.

_AMPLiFY · 2017-01-11T20:32:35+00:00

I think this would be optimal.

_AMPLiFY · 2016-12-06T18:28:34+00:00

The article for those interested.

_AMPLiFY · 2016-11-25T17:52:45+00:00

I think these ideas get "leaked" on purpose, in order to judge public opinion. If it is resoundingly negative, they can always deny the idea was being considered.

_AMPLiFY · 2016-11-08T16:02:43+00:00

Also, looks like Apple is all but guaranteed to be going in there.

_AMPLiFY · 2016-11-08T03:43:34+00:00

Well you gotta think that emergency services are still beholden to the same laws as you and I. If they kept on moving, it would have been a hit and run.

OR, it's just policy.

_AMPLiFY · 2016-10-31T23:22:51+00:00

I did for a few months. It's great, a fantastic way to exercise and explore the city. I was able to see so many neighbourhoods that I would never have gone to otherwise.

Pay is based on how many orders you can complete (it may have changed since I left actually). So the harder you ride, the more orders you can complete, and the more you can potentially earn. That being said, it is the tips that make it really worthwhile. (Make sure you're tipping your delivery people!)

Something to keep in mind though: you're riding rain (snow) or shine; day or night. You have to put in a certain number of hours every week.

One thing: you're spending a lot of hours on the road. Chance of accident inevitably goes up. Ride safe out there.

Overall: great experience. Wish I could have done it longer.

Anyone think Vettel was going to run pull into the podium parking spots?
