Anything south of 407 is Scarborough in my opinion.

No it's not, unionville has tons of character and it's in the middle of everything. Doesn't mean it's worth the asking price but it's a nice place, has all amentities etc and no scum

What I can say about the Markham public infrastructure:
- GO stations are fuuuucked. The 100m dash @ Unionville GO is just insane. Stouffville and Markham GO stations have zero fucking parking.
- 'Quality of living' sucks for a GO commuter once you get past a certain point, i.e. an hour on the GO, poor sleep on the train, etc...

As long as people live in decent proximity to their jobs that's all that matters. Ancaster or Markham, who cares.

at least you can catch a power nap on the train, the only downside is you lose flexibilty in leaving.

Or maybe, just maybe, you go to sleep at a reasonable hour and get enough quality rest that you don't have to sleep on the train.

You commute on the train ?

^ Still dodging why you moved from downtown to be miserable with a shit commute.

Relatively speaking for an intensified cookie cutter suburb, Unionville has a ton of character relative to "new Markham".

Maybe we should compare High Park to pockets of Wimbledon in London, High Park has no character comparatively.

You want character in the GTA, you generally have hoggs hollow and a few a other pockets through out. Everything else is strip mall + cookie cutter sub divisions.

You are just upset you can't afford Unionville after trolling listings in there for over two years. DOn't be mad that upper middle class don't mean shit up here

I go fishing, biking, hiking, bird watching etc.

You don't do any of these, the last time you biked was 5km in 2013, forget about walking. Bird watching is you sitting at home on the couch watching your wife cook.

advocates for black community during police prejudice,, calls them riff raff otherwise.

so many new areas are in buttfuck idaho middle of nowhere, esp markham.

I can't believe they're still trying the live/work crap. People just end up buying the place and converting the "work" part into a living room. In the limited cases where there is a business, it's crap that no one cares about (chiropractor, nail salon, etc). The restaurants and cafes that have opened failed miserably. This whole notion of creating a "downtown" that's not downtown Toronto doesn't work in the suburbs. People all have cars and are willing to drive for everything, myself included.

I am not telling what's better/best/whatever, for the right person these properties can be lucrative (eventually). The builders are ahead of our times, people (general population is stupid as fuck), builders are a decade ahead. I want to revisit this thread in ten years and you will sing a different tune, even for the builds in cornell that are currently failing (they've been hurting since forever, doesn't make them dumb. They are ahead of their time, significantly). The pop density isn't there yet.

I think the work/live can function. But it all depends on the location and the type of business.
Running a "drop in" type of business? Like a hair salon. Failure guaranteed.
Running a "by appointement" type of business. Like a lawyer's office. Yeah, that can work.
