ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

[plam]

I never thought of that. I'd hate for all those Activa suburbs to get turned into dense apartment blocks. Worse, losing the architectural heritage of places like the Northdale neighbourhood would be catastrophic.

Joking aside, yeah the Commie Blocks of China are pretty ugly, but no worse than what we build here. At least their cities and infrastructure work.

Their infrastructure is also way newer.

What are their cities going to look like when their water pipes are 100 years old, like some of the ones that were replaced in Downtown and Uptown alongside LRT construction?

It's not like their water pipes actually carry potable water today either. Like, the grass isn't greener in all respects, and in particular it is not greener in that respect, which is kind of terrible.
