Toronto's mayor has been meeting with the CEOs of some of Canada's largest companies to discuss how to get workers back in the office at least four days a week
In a lot of (European) cities, downtown is not dominated by the banks and offices. And foot traffic is not pushed underground into a privatized area full of overpriced chains, in favour of cars.
Toronto’s downtown is very unwelcoming, and I don’t see a reason for anyone to wanting to be there. Unless they like staring at the monotony of floors ten to twenty of First Canadian Place from their office window.
christ don’t get me started on the Path. “We only open our stores Monday thru Friday from 7am to 4pm and no ones shopping there! what? people use the path on the weekends or in the evening? no, no ha ha we won’t cater to them.”
I use the path on the weekends cause it’s easy quick access to places from where I live. I can’t begin to tell you just HOW many times tourists or other people have asked me “where’s the nearest tim hortons?” or “is there any food courts near here to eat?” and I always just end up pointing them to Union Station. There’s ONE food place in the Path that’s open on the weekends and surprise, surprise, whenever I walk by it, it’s busy.
I swear the motto for this city should be “we’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas”
