How has your city changed

Toronto really has a Seattle vibe.
>Lots of construction
>Space Needle looking thing
>right by the coast
>Downtown is actually a lot smaller and impressive than it looks
>actually not dense and feels like its pretending to be a big city

Well...

... not that much, actually. Grew a bit outside the walls. (which are still 99% intact)

That's a misconception. Development in Toronto was never just along on the waterfront like in Seattle or Miami. It had girth to it.

We've been in recession for over 10 years so not much has changed. I suffer

All the skyscrapers are along a thin ass line separated by freeways. Everything in Dubai is like that. It's like cardboard cutout masquerading as a big city.

It got worse past 10 years.

For context, this is a continuing trend. Toronto will add 100+ highrise buildings in the next 5 years.

Be glad your cities are at least building up and not out. Here it is just sprawl, ever increasing sprawl eating into the countryside so everyone can have their 2x4 metre patch of grass.

It hasn't

Here's the main street in the town over 100 years ago...

I don't know of any types of Before/After photos from the same areas to compare but I know we've had a lot of urban sprawl so the cities housing footprint has probably expanded a lot.

I don't recall anything big changing downtown.

yeah. Although there are several different areas with skyscrapers. So it is not a city of dense skyscrapers like New York.

...and here's a Google Earth view of the exact same spot right now.
All the same buildings and many of the same businesses. The large building in the foreground in the left side was the Kennedy Inn & Shiretown Pub 130 years ago and still is.

It's impressive how well maintained it's been. I'm assuming Southern Ontario?

No, New Brunswick

We got lucky by accident, we were too poor to modernise when the rest of Canada did and now it's paying off. Recently that little town of 1,900 people beat out cities like Vancouver and Montréal to be named the Best Destination in Canada by USAToday.

Toronto is going to be economically recession proof pretty soon. There's too much AI investment, banking and business oriented shit going on to sink it now.

The Americans could burn it down again, you should be building defensive fortifications.

Just call up the Brampton Brigade, have them show those crackheads some jihad

The two are extremely different mate

It used to have lots of stalls where people sell their goods, you could find stuff from all around. Then they put down this.

We got a new mcdonalds, hospital, carwash, and the Middle School got renovated
Oh also a new convenience store, and steak house

>be born in a village
>city next to us wants to annex our village
>referendum time
>97% is against
>village gets annexed anyway
>a billion trillion houses are being build

this statement is utter nonsense

I used to live near lots of farms. Now it's just houses, houses, houses.

Nothing changed here and nothing will change. The building in the pic has been abandoned for 20 years

Oh no the horror, places for people to live! If only we could cling to our ancient tiny shit heap cities and just be 90% homeless instead!

not much has changed but they started to construct new buildings on a field where I used to play as a kid, this sucks

Yeah definitely sucks, I mean you haven't touched it since you were a kid so clearly the place should stay barren and useless because your childhood nostalgia, right?

A lot of stuff got renovated in the 30 years since rejoining federal Germany, but overall it didn't grow much aside from some supermarkets, a cinema, a public pool and few expanded single family neighborhoods. Mostly renovations.

Be quiet, Vancouver bug man

You do realise other kids likely have been playing there since then, right?

nice planning

Not much I guess

it's been a very nice spot near the Forrest and I go for a walk there constantly

Thanks I did it myself
Jokes aside Spain is beautiful friend

Oh fuck off. You must have some understanding of this sentiment.

Sorry. Meant for the poster above

Left pic looks unironically a lot like Mexico, I hope one day we have good infrastructure.

Prague is unironically the most beautiful city in Europe 2bh

It depends. In the fancier areas, its mostly unchanged in the past 100 years. The shittier the area though, the more it has been altered.

Pic related is decently affluent and hence its mostly just shop fronts that have changed.

far left city council is turning every street possible to a bike friendly one by removing lanes and making one way streets two way for cyclists
make the dedicated bus lanes be for cyclists too so a bus with 30 people on it can get stuck going 18km/h

Oh well...

oh man the places that I use to go for as a kid are all different now. There was a dessert spot where I'd hang out in with my friends in winter. They built a main road there now. Not to mention all the stores, houses and schools. sucks desu.

yeah

King Street circa 1915, 1930s, and today

>from the 70s-80s
literally not at all
>from 100 years ago
all the old buildings were torn down and replaced by commie blocks and whatever you can possibly make from concrete

less violent, which is nice. slowly improving and there's a lot of space and poor areas so we can't be easily gentrified overnight

That's a tragedy

My county was 3% immigrants when I moved here. Now it's 30% immigrants. It's easier to find a newspaper in Korean than it is to find one in English.

Not much, some areas of this city are still stuck in the 80's/90's
Although we barely have bulidings that were built before the 30's, almost all of them were destroyed by earthquakes

Looks like the chimneys are holding up the bridge.

>Toronto has led

...in laundering money and corruption. Hence the building that house people that steal money instead of creating it.

Pretty much. Toronto and Vancouver produce nothing. This country is being carried by Quebec manufacturers and Western agrifood business (oilsands used to be important too, but not so much anymore).

not a lot in terms of skyline. a few new glass buildings and that’s about it.
