So the Ontario gov't and the City of Toronto built the Athletes Village which I drive by every day to pick up a dog and take her to Dog town
The location is right by the Distillery District close to the intersection of Cherry and Front St. It's a massive complex, take up about 80 acres, and several buildings featuring of hundreds of housing units
The cost for the whole thing, over 500 million bucks
There will be future use for actual Torontonians I'm told. A YMCA, a George Brown college residence and "mixed use" housing. Psssst, that means condos
So half a billion to make the thing, they build it, walk around and say Hey, these concreted floors in the common areas are sort of ugly. Let's spend another million and a half to lay down some pretty carpet. We don't want these free tenants we call athletes getting their feet cold
And by the way, here are some pics of actual units, where actual rent paying tennants, are living
But what the hell, we're winning!
