BeaverFever BeaverFever:
Will that be the case when a mega-cino opens in downtown Toronto?


Using your theory and the same theory others have shared, building a casino within a few hours of one another will kill the other. I think it's been problem incorrect to date.

BeaverFever BeaverFever:
They're two ADJACENT properties. Tory recommended AGAINST a casino for OP because it's BAD FOR THE AREA, not because it might be good a few feet away across the property line. Yes, he did recommend transit service for OP as part of that site's redevelopment, which goes against your earlier attempt to suggest the only reason Tory didn't want a casino at OP is because it didn't have transit.


I never suggested that's why he didn't recommend it. There were many other factors. I didn't read anything about him saying a casino was "bad for the area".

BeaverFever BeaverFever:
Only a suburbanite would drive from the Ex to OP.


Spoken like a guy without a family. Epic pain in the ass to haul the family from the Ex to OP and back again. It sucks. I took the family over once, never went back again. That was when I lived in Toronto.

BeaverFever BeaverFever:
Picture the endless, 24-7 stream of limos, tour buses, taxis, turinging in and out, the blinking lights, honking horns, drunks, whores, frat boys that will poliute and congest every adjacent neighbourhood and area.


It's not like that at Rama, Heron, Woodbine, Ajax or Niagara, why would it be different in Toronto?

I guess we'll have to see....or not

He said it was bad for the waterfront. O right, across the street is a different area....

It's not that far at all, its across the street. Will it be easier to haul them around the casino? And even if it's a supposedly pain to go from one side of the street to the other with kids, that has nothing to do with the fact that a mega-casino-shopping-hotel resort will affect adjacent properties and through traffic.

1) The proposed Toronto site is much larger.
2) It's in downtown Toronto, meaning a much much much larger immediate market and more attractive venue
3) The surrounding area is highly developed meaning little if any ability to expand roadways to accommodate the additional traffic
4) As said numerous time already, commuter traffic and TFC fans and Exhibition-goers already swarm the entire 'waterfront' and adjacent areas regularly.
5)I have seen Fallsview at its worst and its like that

Think Yorkdale Mall.
