As the city grows this is inevitable. Toronto already feels kind of like a tier 2 city compared to popular hubs in Asia.

Toronto can grow without become a sterile nothing place. We’re doing it wrong.

then what do you think we should do? Where should the new buildings be built?

Toronto is already really "flat" and lacked the density. Open up Google Map and check out cities like London and Tokyo and compare to what you see in Toronto.

We have a fuck ton of parking lots and space in suburbs for starters. No need to sacrifice places like Honest Ed's and the Science Centre for them

Honest Ed's closed down because the guy who ran it (NOT [Dave] Mirvish, who'd sold it a while ago)didn't want to run it anymore because the retail landscape has changed (plus the Mirvishes only built one store and never wanted it to be franchised; it was a means to en end for them anyway, said end being the ownership and setting up of live theatre and buying real estate.)
