I feel pretty bad for the residents there since they opposed the project from the beginning, but there's no way the city would reject such a nice condo project.

A Toronto Star article for Friday October 8 (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1097185810597&call_pageid=968350130169&col=969483202845)

It's really bad to sum it up, caused by the excavation of ground to put in a 5 storey underground parking garage. The shaking is so bad that monitors shake, coffee cups shake, walls shake, dust flies, etc... but it's all worth it in the end since the skyline needs some more pretty condos (no sarcasm there). I like the look of the minto towers.

I think if there was an NIMBY Olympics, the Y&E group would be gold medal winners (whiners? ).

If everybody who lived near new condo construction complained about construction noises, vibrations and dust, that wouldn't leave many people out.

Hey Y&E NIMBYs.....you lost...shut up already.

Being 'nice' has nothing to do with the approvals process.

Besides the city originally rejected the 'nicer' version of the Minto towers before they were watered down for city support at the OMB.
