Ironically, people that are severely physically disabled are the ones that won't be owning cars so a good wheel-chair accessible city with reliable public transit is needed most for them.

400 million =400 single family, 4 bedroom, homes. That's a roof for 1600 people.
Probably 3200 people could be housed, if the province decided to get into the condo building game.
Instead we are building a parking garage on a lake, on the most expense land in N. America, beside a GO and subway station, for a private company that has an insane business plan of creating a luxury spa and its crack-pipe dream of 4,000,000 ultra-wealthy visitors a year.
Madness
Such a dumb and badly run country.
Every TTC subway stop should have a post office in it. The TTC should be run 24hrs a day. You should be able to pick up your package at the post office within the TTC subway stop easily.
Post offices within the GTHA really should be walking distance for most people. Go pick your package up somewhere close by, open 24hrs.
Putting post offices in Shoppers Drug Mart isn't too bad, but it would be better if they where in 24hr donought shops.
We need to use community postal boxes more.
We need traffic cameras to automatically ticket couriers that block traffic.
We need to get ride of this 'independent contractor' nonsense. It's a scam.
But for this to happen the Fed/Prov/City and Crown Corps all need to work together...so it'll never happen.
Turn them in community centers.
Rework how how education is done, by mixing programming you'd find in a community center and a regular school.
People complain that education is not currently working, here is your chance to re-envision it. Build large spaces with welding/3dpriners/car repair. Have mixed classes not based on age, with adults and teens.
Musk bought Twitter for $50B, in comparison the price tag for repairing any of these schools seems like half a peanut in cost. There is money.
It's one economic unit.
They were slave owners, who fought a violent war against a democratic country. They could have asked for representation in parliament, but they decided to go to war. Why, because England, was about to clean up the colonies and eliminate slavery. With peace between England and France in the 1760s, England's attention was once again on domestic issues, and people in England were getting sick of slavery in the colonies. The rich slave owners, most educated in law, knew slavery was about to end when the ruling of Somerset v Stewart (1772) was handed down.
I think it's also important to compare America to other Western countries, and see what other paths it might have chosen.
Ancient Greeks had a sophisticated understanding of astronomy, and math. The Antikythera Mechanism is a gadget for demonstrating their knowledge, much like our planetariums and more advanced children's educational toys.
Most of America's suburbs are designed to have a supermarket somewhere on the outside of the zigzagging streets of the residential homes. Golf carts would be perfect, in the vast existing suburbia. Legalize golf carts for slow streets in the burbs, and you'd get a massive reduction in car use. A quick electrification of vehicles.
I like bikes, I get it that many people don't. But at the very least legalize golf carts on slow streets. I feel that the average suburban home wouldn't mind getting a golf cart as a second vehicle. It's a quick way of hopping to the strip mall to get milk, or a morning coffee.
I think there needs to be an effort to advocate for reduced car use, many of the suburbs would be much nicer if people could be allowed to use golf carts on the roads. It would be a step in a better direction, break the obsolete car industry, and bridge to walk-able communities in existing burbs that can't be easily or quickly redeveloped.
Definitely need some speed bumps on that stretch of road, all along Parkside. I really don't understand why some have already not been installed.
