Condo “platinum” brokers party leaves some unimpressed

Demolition has begun at the second of two sites on Bayview Ave. where Gairloch Developments will build condominiums. This one is in the 1700 block and sits across the street from the Leaside station. A Facebook post describes what was called a “Platinum Broker’s Event” at the site which left the author more than a little cynical. And the single-family home reaction to the condofication of their neighbourhoods also inspires opposing namecalling too. One comment from “Condovo” on the Urban Toronto site calls the people of Leaside “City-privileged, veteran homeowners with a giant sense of entitlement”. Yep, that’s us.
