Only the less desirables in the neighborhood will shop at a food basics. I bought my condo (with my parents money) only because the builder told me a Metro will be below my tiny loft. Who's down to picket the frontlines of Food Basics?

Food basics will be here soon. The 99.8 percent of the rest of the community are excited about this. Oh the smell of savings is rising!

I was very excited to live in the Fuse condo building knowing that a 24 hour METRO would be below me as I work off hours and being able to do my groceries when I get home at midnight or later was a big attracter. I am very angry that I will not be getting the grocer that I was promised. I still would have bought in the building but chances are I'll be going to the 24 hour Sobeys no too far away.

This was a clear bait and switch. There are plenty of affordable options in the area there is no need to downgrade this location to a food basics so that demographic is not affected by a Metro coming in. It was advertised as a Metro and it should be a Metro. This neighbourhood is growing and deserves this selection upgrade.

It would be interesting to get an independent, third party assessment of what impact this "bait and switch" tactic might have on the property values in the area (particularly for this who purchased property in the FUSE developments).

I feel betrayed by metro, having a quality grocer on hand is one of the reasons I bought into the building.

Food basics is coming soon! You could see the signage when you're looking in to the building on Dupont. 280 douchebags signing a useless petition, isn't going to do a thing. Let the savings begin!

The people that will occupy the up and coming rental properties north of Dupont, will greatly appreciate an affordable shopping experience. Sorry to break it to you snobs, but this supposed Metro has been moved to Queen and Gladstone ave. http://torontoshopkeeper.blogspot.ca/2013/09/preview-metro-coming-to-queen-street.html?m=1 The signs are now up, and will open shortly. So close down this useless petition!

This petition is so white, it's blinding! Are there really no other bakeries or delis in the neighbourhood? Are you really this bland?

In other news, Neudorfer Corporation is proposing a 1062 unit three tower rental development right next to Fuse condos. They have your money and clearly not interested in maintaining your property values. http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2017/03/1062-unit-trio-rental-towers-planned-davenport-village#disqus_thread

Change has to do with new residents coming from the huge new affordable housing slated on 640 Landsdowne ? http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2016/09/disused-site-lansdowne-released-affordable-housing

My husband and I are originally purchasers from June 2011. One of the top 5 reasons to purchase here was the metro location.

I live across the street. There's already way too many discount super markets in the area. The area will still stay crack head central if u don't try and build it up.
