Yonge St. in North York is quite vibrant, and has few parking lots, but what makes it peculiar is that the highrises and "downtown activity" are literally almost directly adjacent to postwar residential areas. Finch and Sheppard Aves are also depressing in that they are busy arterials lined largely with run-down residential houses, many of them containing shady neon-lit businesses like Psychic Sally's, and other such bilge. Parts of Finch are being converted to townhouses, which is an improvement.
