They just whine that they are mortgage/rent broke and can't afford groceries while stepping on needles in parks.

How bad does the problem need to be when there are hotlines for reporting needles...

There's also a hotline for sexual assault and rapists, skoob.
Think we should warn the city that someone who backs rapists might come to town too?
You really are trying to twist and turn the real facts. I stated several times that in a City like Amsterdam or London, the intensive network of Underground. / Subway trains are well interconnected. You do not require a car. When you purchase a ticket to a particular destination, it means that you can interconnect very easily between various different subway lines without incurring addition costs!!
Normally if you use the Go Train from let's say Oshawa, and get to Union Station, then you are in the midst of downtown. Walking to your destination is no issue. However. when you drive downtown, and then want to park, it costs an arm and a leg to do so these days, especially during peak periods. Getting on the Go Train takes away the headache of traffic congestion once you enter downtown. Far easier to drop off your car at a Go Train Station where parking is free and then getting a ride on the Go Train. Obviously, you have not used The Go Train!!
Small correction to #6. He said he would tie immigration to available housing.
Yes, the Ford government are wasting money on this.If Wind and Solar are useless better inform The Ford Government ASAP about it:

You think Union station is the epicenter of the city? That's way south. You think anyone can just walk km's after getting to union? No. They would then need to take the TTC.
I'm not disputing that some European countries have better transit systems. In fact that's my whole point. Toronto is a different city, more spread out and transit is terrible. That's why driving is still attractive, more convenient, and offers someone the means to go many places during the same commute in a reasonable time.
I've proven you wrong so many times that it's no longer even a challenge...quite boring actually.
I have walked from Union Station to as far North as Bloor Street. But you made my point, that money should be spent on more public transit infrastructure rather than more Highways. London is a bigger city than Toronto and well connected by their Underground / Subway. Hence more citizens use the public transport rather than their cars whenever possible!!
But you think that it is possible to drive to Downtown Toronto in a "reasonable time" during rush hours? Really!!
I'm glad you agree that underground subways like in other cities would be better. Some people on here are against subways. (You know who.)
Until someone in Toronto can travel in/out of the city using reliable and efficient transit, we can't pretend cars don't exist. They do. And because they do, we need more roads/highways not less.
Lots of people can't ride bikes or walk long distances.
Ah, no matter the subject you can find a bad position.
So you support subways where population density doesn't support them, are against LRT's where they are appropriate, want more highways and suburbia then complain about the expense and time of your commute and finish it off by complaining about rapid transit.
