What do you mean "At present projections"?
I lived in HK for a few months and it's true that flats are very small vs anything in Toronto. There are also many illegally sub-divided flats. On the other hand, getting around HK is very convenient as there is transit almost everywhere. They even have a huge fleet of minibuses carrying 16 people that operate in the outlying areas. The street food and cultural scene over there is amazing.
The GTA has a very long way to go to get anywhere near the density of HK. The main reasons are geographical and political.
The same thing happened to Chinatown though they are technically 2 of them in Toronto. The Chinatown at Spadina and Dundas has a lot fewer Chinese places than it used to. I think there are at most 6 Chinese places today. Most of the Chinese community moved to Scarboroough, Markham and Richmond Hill decades ago.
There are still a few good ones, just pricey compared to the more simple Mr/Friendly Greek days.
I've noticed no drop. Whoever compared to those other locations downtown Toronto town is now insignificant. When visitors came to Toronto they asked me If Chinese was official language now Because they got a hotel near pacific mall. The default ATM's in the area for example is Chinese not English Which for Americans was shocking.

I attended as a vendor quite a few times in a past job overseeing some promotional work as I did at a number of Toronto street festivals.
Taste of Danforth was by far the biggest but with that comes exponentially more costs without necessarily more revenue. The paid-duty police needed alone must have been massive.
I do recall the organizer coming off as a bit of a carnival barker sleazy salesman type.

I was talking about the drop of Chinese restaurants over the years because there used to be a lot more of them. There used to be a large restaurant near Kensington Market called Hsin Kuang, which I think was built in the early to mid 80's. It was later known as Bright Pearl. That building was renovated maybe 5 years ago and it's now the headquarters of The Scott Mission.
I know that downtown Toronto Chinatown is insignifcant versus Markham, Scarborough and Richmond Hill. I also know that ATM's in those areas default to Chinese.
說的是這些年來中餐館的減少，因為過去有很多中餐館。 肯辛頓市場附近曾經有一家很大的餐廳叫新光，我想是八十年代初到中期建的。 後來被稱為「明珠」。 該建築大約 5 年前進行了翻修，現在是斯科特傳教團的總部。
我知道多倫多市中心的唐人街與萬錦、士嘉堡和列治文山相比微不足道。 我還知道那些地區的ATM預設是中文的.
The restaurant you mentioned question was closed down for legal reason If I remember correctly. Violated the health code I could not survive the legal ramifications. But I'll take your word out of it that Restaurants have gone down Significantly. I had not noticed.
I suspect the rising rents cause cut backs in health issues. Downtown had ridiculous rents...

Chinatown adds a lot of spice and bite to Toronto's multicultural flavour and the area boasts incredible food and restaurants. But that charm isn't all that some city food inspectors find. The ...

The urban legend with the building was that it used to be a morgue. So it was obviously cursed
