I grew up in the west end - Weston/401, Weston/Eglinton, Scarlett/Eglinton. I know all about the layout of the GTA... I was also a tow truck dispatcher for 4 years. I still can't get lost anywhere between Meadowvale / Steeles / 427 / the 'Shore, even after being up north for 7 years.
The sad part is... the elitist crap of new "luxury" subdivisions in areas never meant to handle the loads make the residents cry out for new/upgraded roads. The existing highways that were never meant to have the extra traffic subsequently have to be upgraded then as well. The spread carries further out (Barrie is a "bedroom community" now... that's pure bunk) and the lemmings expect to get to their jobs almost as quick as they can from Milton/Mississauga/Oshawa/Whitby.
There has to be a line drawn. s*** can't keep expanding forever.
