Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Downtown core: The heart of Metro's building boom is downtown; where the head offices are; but the construction is spread among the boroughs and the city of North York; as part of a deliberate attempt to avoid turning Metro into a carbon copy of New York; where the concentration of development downtown has starved the suburbs; leaving them without enough tax revenue to provide essential services.
