I'm assuming Undustrial's comment was sarcasm, and scoring as such.

I've said before, I'll say it again - we know what kinds of communities people want to live in, but we don't build them. There is no intrinsic reason to allow developers to build Mississaugas instead of Torontos. They build them because they are permitted to do so, because it is more cost-effective. If we internalize the bad externalities (make them pay the cost of the car-culture they encourage), they will build as desired. But the East Mountain isn't the place to do so - it will be cut off from the HSR. Ironically, the Aerotropolis, at the end of the proposed A-Line, would be a better location for such a planned fresh-built urban community.
