Yeah. The way
folks in Westboro are fighting triplexes makes me very pessimistic for the intensification prospects for these older neighborhoods.
I maintain that the city is going to look a lot different and value very different corridors in two decades as development takes up along existing transit lines. In that sense, I think corridors like Carling offer way more potential than Bank. Wide enough to easily put down BRT or LRT. Not many "stable" neighbourhoods. It'd be a developer bonanza.
