Condo owners of the ward, unite!

As if there are not enough residents associations, here's another one that's being founded. The Trinity-Spadina area is pretty massive and packs in quite a few condos and as you can see from the map below, makes up a pretty huge area. In 2006, the area had 115,355 residents. It's an odd area, made up of the old-school annex and downtowny neighbourhoods that politicians like Tony Ianno and Olivia Chow and Adam Vaughan have tapped into the Portuguese and Chinese communities. Of course, over the past decade, a condo demographic has flooded the area.

Question of course is what's the goal of an association that takes up such a wide area. Are there issues inherent to all condos regardless of whether you're on the waterfront (Queens Quay), at CityPlace (a community on to itself) and other developments on King and north. Can we argue that issues on the water, like TTC access and the redevelopment, differ from those condo owners who live on club land near Adelaide and Richmond). Interesting times, we're sure, and we'll be interested to see if this becomes more of a political body less one that can tackle the real and varied issues of urban living.
