Maybe the cheap grades of Chinese or Indian steel they've used in these things (you know, to control costs) is beige in colour, and not grey. Maybe it only looked like wood from the street. Huh? Tricked ya.

There’s only one way to find out. Somebody needs to go see one of the hookers operating in these units and get a closer look at the ceiling. Maybe take a chisel to it and bring back a sample for analysis.

I nominate NIT.

Milton has missed nearly every density target
There is way too much sprawl out here

Pffft. I call nonsense on that. If sprawl was such a concern, we've be sprawling towards Mississauga to connect with the bigger picture instead of out towards the escaprment - further away form the city.

In fact, if sprawl was such a concern, none on us should even really be here in the first place.

All the sprawl issue and the greenblet plan has done is helped inflate home prices and encourage builders to cram us into tighter and tighter spaces - for more money - under the guise of there not being any more space left.

Yikes-i wonder how the other houses that didn't sell feel. Not a fan of more houses, hopefully Colin can add his views. Also not sure what is happening to the EC drury site.

Just drove past this row. All but one or two of the condemned houses have been flattened.
Looks like a sad scene, I'm not optimistic about this. One more approach to town about to be turned into sh*t.

Few questions kill a thread faster round here than inquiries regarding the E.C Drury site. I'll test my theory and bump your question lacoste3.
What's the latest on the former E.C. Drury high school site? Colin? Bueller?

Wait, I resuscitate this thing, only to have you kill it? Start up your own thread if you want Colin to ignore something to death.

Maybe I'm a little biased since I use to live in them, but I didn't find the Bronte apts as bad as everyone makes out, yet they seem to be the most talked in reference to Milton slums.

Seldom do I hear mention of Commercial & Derry, El Primo apts, Millside Dr, the apts above Brydens, or the places on Steeles west of Main (south side near Peru Dr), but to me, those are more sketchy than 122 Bronte St S.

What's the worst place in town?


So if it's an affordable apartment complex it's a slum? The only thing that seems like a slum in Milton to me are the townhouses on Steeles/Peru and some of the cheap/subsidized apartments/housing on Main St (eg. above Brydens and the house between Vitality Yoga and Bombay Grill)

Also, at $210,000-$320,000 a condo (not including condo fees), I don't think you're going to be seeing too much riff raff at Maple Crossing. They're suckers, but they're middle to upper class suckers.

And if you look at the website for the Bronte apartments, they look pretty nice inside. Bonus: they're made of bricks instead of wood.
