Should a city the size of Toronto have more, less, or about the same amount of rapid transit?
>>2076185Ontario is unusual in that it has been fully developed wall to wall suburbs for more than a generation. The American north shore is all farmland except for maybe 10 counties, on the greatest corridor in world history.Imagine if Cleveland or Buffalo were surrounded by rings of mid century suburbs for over a hundred miles, because anything south of Columbus is hard living wilderness.
>>2076187About half of Southern Ontario is farmland including a big chunk of Canadian Shield land near the Kawarthas up to Algonquin Park.Not sure what you meant by this post. I think the majority of all of the highest grade farmland is also in Ontario.
>>2076190Why are you talking about anything north of toronto? Everything south of Toronto's latitude is 100% developed. Breezwood all the way from the Detroit/Naigara borders to Toronto. The southern glacial scar parallel to algonquin is allegheny state park, and there ain't nothing close to there.
>>2076205>Everything south of Toronto's latitude is 100% developed.That's only really true between Hamilton and Oshawa. Beyond either of those, you're into mainly farmland.
having a U shaped subway in the most dense part of the urban core seems so inefficient
>>2076271Why?
buses would be better in every possible way, and its cheaper to pave a lane of highway than do rail anyways, and more flexibleUrbanites are obsessed with retarded mass transit concepts because they think its supposed to be a free government service...
>>2076275I fixed it. It's a little crude, but illustrates my point quite effectively.
Guess it depends on what you considered "developed". My grandparents' farm near Pain Court is pretty much the same as it was fifty years ago when my dad was a teen. Even Pain Court itself is still just a couple dozen buildings.
