Newlyweds Ryan Perera and Tripti Ninan are proud owners of a condo in Etobicoke. BENJAMIN PRIEBE photo

Newlyweds Tripti Ninan and Ryan Perera are Millennials and purchased their first home in Toronto just under a year ago.

Based on their combined income and the down payment they were able to come up with, the couple bought a 700-square-foot, one-bedroom-plusden condo unit in Toronto’s west end near a subway station.

“We knew our first step would be a condo. We wanted to start small and we wanted something low maintenance,”

said Ninan. “And for us, location was About five years ago, they both started setting aside money for their key because we wanted to be close to transit. I did not want ridiculous comwedding and future home purchase. mutes anymore.”

Ninan, who also paid her own way

through college and university, said she was lucky to have taken a few financial courses and had a good understanding of what was involved in getting into the Toronto real estate market. It also helped that both Ninan and Perera’s parents have purchased a condo in the last five years and they were actively involved in helping their parents navigate the experience.

“We took what we learned from our parents and applied it when the time came to buy a condo,” she said.

The couple sacrificed having a second vehicle to save more money

Depending on what they want and their needs, they did admit they’d consider moving be near impossible unless you have two steady outside Toronto proper. incomes over $100,000,” Wang explained.

with less,” she said.

Real estate broker Frank Leo, who has been serving clients in Toronto and the GTA for 28 years, said for Millennials the biggest thing is the pressure of being “squeezed out of the market.”

Leo, of RE/MAX West Realty Ltd., advises young buyers to avoid jumping into the market before doing their research, specifically knowing exactly what they want and can afford.

“A good representative on your side helps keep your emotions in check,” he said. “If a property isn’t what you need or want then don’t buy it.”

He added those between the ages of 18 to 35 who want to purchase a property in Toronto need to take a close look at their needs, and based on their budget a good realtor will be able to help find the right home to buy.

“If you buy well, that’s a good investment.

If you buy poorly then you’re in trouble. You want to make sure you have someone who knows their stuff to give you the best advice,” he said.

Leo also said Millennials need to realize it’s not likely they’ll be buying the home of their dreams the first time around.

“Often, the first property is a stepping stone that fits your current needs and one that will get a good return,” he said.

“Real estate is all about understanding value and getting the best property for your money.”

Meray Mansour, real estate agent with Royal LePage Estate Realty, agreed noting getting into a smaller “first-step home” like a condo or a small bungalow for a few years is what will help first-time homeowners build equity for their dream home.

With 18 years of experience in Toronto’s real estate market, she said bidding wars for anything in the $550,000 to $700,000 range are to be expected.

“There’s so much demand and very low stock. I advise my clients to understand bidding wars are a reality but to not be discouraged,” she said. “And because today’s market is so hot, being too emotional can lead to irrational decisions. You need a realtor that’s going to advocate for you in this type of market.”

She encouraged Millennials to go for it if they do have enough money saved up to get into the market.

“Don’t wait because the market is so hot,” she said.

T

he city kicked off Bike Month, which runs from May 30 to June 30, with a blitz by Toronto police writing tickets to drivers parking in bike lanes.

The heightened enforcement campaign called “Right 2 Bike” ran for one week until June 5 and saw parking enforcement officers working with traffic services and divisional units hand out 273 tickets at $150 a piece, totalling $40,950 in fines.

That sounds like a lot, but the campaign to target drivers with total disregard for cyclists should continue in some shape or form.

Bad habits are hard to break, especially this one.

Since a bylaw change in 2014, which increased the fine for blocking a bike lane from $60 to $150, about 17,000 tickets have been issued to date.

For more recent empirical evidence, just check Twitter where cyclists regularly tweet pictures of cars, taxis and our view delivery trucks blocking bike Make biking to lanes.

While parking enforcement work easier for officer Brian Moniz noted most of the enforcement in the blitz cyclists took place in the downtown core, this could be a growing and more prevalent issue across the city. additional blitzes

With the city discussing how to expand cycling infrastructure in Toronto to the tune of $16 million per year for 10 years, any increase in bike lanes would only exacerbate the problem of cyclists being put in danger by drivers blocking their right-of-way.

Perhaps having additional blitzes and an increased awareness campaign, combined with even higher fines for offenders is a potential solution to curbing bad driver behaviour.

The alternative of not having some kind of sustained campaign to ensure the safety of cyclists will have an adverse impact on what the city seemingly wants to achieve through holding Bike Month each year.

That is to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride their bikes more.

Bike to Work days?

Good luck finding more people to participate if it means navigating Toronto streets with the added challenge of swerving around parked cars.

Karygiannis plays role of council’s angry man Ah, Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis.

We have not seen his like since… well really, since the last time the voters of Ward 39-Scarborough Agincourt sent a councillor to City Hall.

Jim Karygiannis is the first-term successor to Toronto’s former budget chief, Mike Del Grande — who kept Ward 39 strange for a decade before that, often with the help of Karygiannis himself, who had been a Liberal MP for even longer in the area.

In 2004, the two of them made headlines, personally helping to bust up marijuana grow-ops in their communities, while Del Grande also kept an inventory of constituents whose homes violated city bylaws.

Del Grande had a brief tenure as former Mayor Rob Ford’s first budget chief, but consistently bemoaned the failings of his colleagues on council and delinquent constituents alike, maintaining a consistent and in retro-

david nickle the city spect magnificent rage.

When Del Grande decided he’d had enough in 2014, Karygiannis happily assumed his angry role — at if anything a greater volume.

He took on the Uber ride-sharing industry in the rhetorical equivalent of a berserk rampage, behaving so badly during Licensing and Standards Committee hearings that Mayor John Tory called him on the carpet. More than a decade after he and Del Grande waged their own local War on Drugs, he came to the defence of illegal storefront marijuana shops.

And this week, two reports from the city’s Integrity Commissioner calling him out for behaviour not too dissimilar to those pot-busting days with Mike Del Grande. In one instance in 2015, Karygiannis scared the bejeezers out of a family

guilty of parking on the “skirt” of their home’s driveway. In another, he scared the bejeezers out of an Uber driver who he’d spotted going to pick up a ride in a house in his ward.

The Integrity Commissioner found that Karygiannis had run afoul of the councillors’ code of conduct, which incredibly requires that councillors not intimidate people in the course of going about their business. On June 7, Karygiannis mumbled an apology on the floor of council. But he wasn’t sorry, not really. In an interview, Karygiannis maintained that he should be able to tell constituents to obey the law if he wants to, particularly if the city is slow to enforce.

And if he’s intimidating in the course of doing that?

“Maybe the method, she (the Integrity Commissioner) doesn’t agree with it. Maybe my method is a little rough,” he said. “I’m a big guy. What can I tell you? I’m six feet

and 260 pounds. When you see me walking up to you, you feel intimidated.”

Maybe there always has to be a Jim Karygiannis at City Hall: someone who ignores decorum and puts on a show, a John Belushi character turning civilized discourse into a proper Animal House. When he was a councillor, Rob Ford fulfilled that role, spewing rhetoric across the city while digging down on the little things in neighbourhoods and dissing his colleagues for their city-funded office budgets.

Doug Ford played that role a bit when Rob became mayor and Giorgio Mammoliti still dips toe in that pool from time to time, but clearly he’s getting tired.

So maybe it’s good, that Karygiannis is here to keep an old Toronto tradition alive.

There’s a hitch for seniors and youth to activate their Presto discount Some seniors are crying foul about Presto. While the smart-fare card distinguishes between regular and special fares, in the case of senior and student rates there’s a catch.

In order to receive the discounted fare rate, a “concession” must be added to the card, and the only place to do that is Davisville Station.

That could mean a long trek for mobility-challenged seniors.

At a funding announcement last week, Andy Byford said discussions were underway between the TTC and Presto for expanding the number of outlets to obtain a concession, as well as adding full-service vending machines to provide the service.

But he said the focus right now is getting all TTC vehicles and stations Presto-equipped by the end of the year. transportation conference is private There’s an important confer-

Students take ‘drunk’ spin behind the wheel Guardian reporter, an experienced driver himself, knocks over multiple cones in his attempt ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com High school students were allowed to drive impaired in north Etobiocke last week. And they each had a police officer beside them.

The students were taking part in Ford Motor Company’s Driving Skills for Life program, which included taking a drive wearing goggles that simulate alcohol impairment.

The event took place in a closed parking lot at Woodbine Racetrack.

“We want to demonstrate to them that there should be a zero tolerance for impairment and driving,” said Dave Drimmie, a Ford instructor.

“They’re going to run over cones, they’re going to weave in and out of the lane, they’re going to either drive very slowly or very quickly, all issues that will demonstrate to them that it’s not safe to drive a vehicle impaired.”

Grade 12 student Ryan Harris said the program changed his perspective, literally. ‘everything is blurry’ “You put the goggles on and everything is blurry,” he said. “You don’t know where everything is. It shows you how hard it is to actually drive drunk and how unsafe it is.”

One goggle mimics how a person sees after a couple of drinks while another after four or five drinks.

“We have fun in this simulation.

But it’s not fun when it’s done in your own motor vehicle,” instructor Ralph Stotschek told students.

The teens were cautioned about the three d’s: drunk driving, drugged driving and distracted driving.

“If you think you could do it, you’ll find out the hard way that it cannot be done,” Stotschek warned.

Const. Ryan Willmer of 23 Division said he hopes the program would deter teens “from making the wrong decisions.”

“It gives youth the opportunity to see what it’s really like to drive impaired.”

Willmer said he has come across young drunk drivers countless times over the past decade.

being pulled over by the constable: “I was drinking and I thought I could drive.”

“Some ended up in bad accidents and some ended up with me stopping them before they got into an accident,” said Willmer, adding there were also those who “couldn’t be charged because they died.”

Seeing the carnage by impaired drivers first hand is troubling, the officer said in an interview.

“It makes me think: Why isn’t the message getting out. There are so many campaigns. ... We’ve got to figure out a way to make it click. This could be it,” he said, referring to the driving skills for life program.

Participants also had a lesson on vehicle handling and distracted driving and could also try on a special suit that simulates drug impairment.

Writer recounts lesson on impaired driving York Guardian reporter Andrew Palamarchuk wore the goggles to simulate drunk driving.

This is his account: “You did horrible,” Const. Ryan Willmer tells me after I took a drive wearing goggles that simulated alcohol impairment with him beside me.

Feeling dizzy with distorted vision, I didn’t see the cones and missed turns.

and hit two or three pylons,” Willmer said.

“And then throughout...you way overshot the turns. Even parking, you’re off by a few feet.”

What would have happened had I been out on the street?

It would have been deadly, Willmer replied.

“There’s a very low percentage of people that are driving around drunk like this that something doesn’t happen,” he added.

City traffic assistants, which is to say police officers, will be stationed at key intersections to help improve traffic flow as a part of Toronto’s congestion management plan, said Mayor John Tory Monday.

Tory announced the pilot project, which will see eight intersections and stretches of road overseen by “traffic assistant personnel,” or police officers.

The plan, Tory said, is to make traffic move more quickly and make the intersections safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

“The No. 1 priority for Toronto residents continues to be their ability to move around this city.

We’re taking action to keep Toronto moving by targeting some of our most congested intersections,” Tory said in a statement. “Traffic assistant personnel will improve the flow of traffic by directing traffic, making sure vehicles don’t block intersections and stopping illegal left turns.”

The intersections and roadways, which will be overseen four weeks in the summer and another four weeks in the fall, include the following: n Bay Street and Queen Street n Front Street and Simcoe Street n Lake Shore Boulevard Parklawn Road n Sheppard Avenue and Yonge Street n Front Street and University Avenue n Bay Street and Bloor Street n University Avenue and Adelaide Street n Bay Street from Bloor Street to Front Street

Eglinton Crosstown Update: Station Open Houses The Eglinton Crosstown Project is building the Eglinton line, a 19-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line that will run along Eglinton Avenue through the heart of Toronto, with a 10-kilometre underground tunnel in its central section. When complete, the line will connect Mount Dennis in the west to Kennedy Road in the east, and will move passengers up to 60 per cent faster than bus service along Eglinton Avenue today.

Join us at our upcoming open house and learn about the future stations on the Eglinton line in your neighbourhood.

Starting in spring/summer 2016, the next phase of construction begins at Leaside and Caledonia Stations, and many other Crosstown stations will be under construction before the end of 2016.

Join Metrolinx and its constructor, Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS), at an open house to find out: • what construction is happening in your neighbourhood • why it needs to happen • how it may impact you • who to contact if you have questions/concerns • when construction is happening

“Indeed, I have been hearing from those who recognize the necessity of helping the homeless and from others who do not believe the city should be providing these services at all,” she said. “I know that residents in the northern part of Ward 13 have some concerns about this shelter and want more information. I am

hearing loud and clear that people want to know how this proposal will impact their neighbourhoods.”

As directed by city council, staff at the City of Toronto are working to find up to 15 new emergency shelters in neighbourhoods across the city.

They are essential to provide service to the growing number of people who experience homelessness, as well as to replace shelters that are moving or need to be redeveloped.

Staff have recommended a new 24-hour men’s shelter with supportive services be built at 731 Runnymede Rd. This location was chosen based on the requirements of the Municipal Shelter Bylaw, which include being on a minor arterial road with access to transit.

The shelter would be operated by city staff. It would provide 24/7 services including meals, counselling/ case management, assistance to find housing and access to employability programs for up to 100 men.

column

There’s plenty to ask at a school reunion My old stomping grounds, West Preparatory Junior Public School, is celebrating it’s 75th anniversary with a reunion in October.

The last reunion was in its 50th year and I was there. I plan to make it to this one, too.

In honour of the occasion, I put together 75 questions. Alas, there is only room for 25.

1. Are you going to be ringing the school bell to signal that the reunion is officially starting?

2. Will we be lining up outside waiting for said ring and be expected to walk in two by two?

3. Will the names of all of the teachers in the last 75 years be written on the blackboards in chalk?

4. Would it be possible for me take a piece of commemorative chalk home for old time’s sake?

5. Can I take a piece of chalk for myself as well?

6. Any chance of getting a blackboard and a brush, while I’m at it?

jamie wayne BUT SERIOUSLY 7. In the event I have a question during the reunion, will I be required to raise my hand?

8. If I have to go the bathroom, will I have to raise my hand to do that also?

9. Will there be class monitors in each room?

10. If I act up during the evening, am I going to be sent to the principal’s office?

11. Is it possible to get a detention during a school reunion?

12. If I do get a detention, will it be in the library?

13. And when would I be expected to serve it – right after the 75th or just some time before the 100th reunion?

14, Are we going to have recess?

15. If so, is it still 15 minutes?

16. (As a side note, how come schools get a measly 15 minutes and Parliament

can get three months?)

17. Will we be allowed to play tag during recess?

18. Will the gym be set up for floor hockey?

19. Can we play alleys (aka marbles) in the playground?

20. Can we shoot hockey cards against the school wall?

21. Will there be a times table set up in one of the classrooms with the numbers one through 12 so we can see who can get through it the fastest?

22. Will there be a spelling bee?

23. Is there going to be homework?

24. If so, when it would be due?

25. Last and certainly not least, if we’re going to be late, or can’t make it, will we have to provide a note from our parents?

Jamie Wayne is a lifelong columnist who takes writing very seriously. The topics?

Not so much. His column appears every Thursday. Contact him at jamie.wayne@sympatico.ca

and a hundred other budding restaurateurs hoping to capitalize on Toronto’s vibrant culinary community. Except for Gauravi, it worked.

Shortly after beginning the search for a location to host her concept Tilde – a taquiera that experiments with cross-cultural flavours and hawks craft brews and cocktails – she found a spot on the Danforth, an area growing beyond its Greek routes to more diverse food offerings.

a new set of wheels

“I quit my job and the next week I had a location,” she says. “I was expecting it to be a long drawn out process.”

Gauravi was able to get some assistance from Enterprise Toronto. “I applied for (Starter Company) because we really needed the funds to expand the staffing and expand our hours into brunch service,” she explains. She got the grant, fine-tuned her business plan and received mentorship, as well.

Foodie abandons nuclear engineering to launch taquieria

“People from a couple other startups got together and (although) they were starting apps and techs companies and I was starting a brick and mortar place it was interesting to see the different perspectives,” she says. “Some were having issues with staffing and training so it was good to find that common ground even through our industries are completely different.”

For Gauravi Shah, cooking was just a hobby, something to do in the evenings to distract herself from the daily grind of working as a nuclear engineer in Pickering. That is, until she discovered she had a genuine knack for it.

Since completing the program the entrepreneur and foodie has added brunch to Tilde’s offerings.

“Enterprise Toronto really helped me to try to address a very challenging area in the industry,” says Gauravi.
