Right now, Toronto real estate is more expensive than Brooklyn's. Sidewalk Labs gets 12 acres of some of the most prime real estate in North America. People will be chomping at the bit for this, yet the request for directions for this project said 40 days. Nobody could compete in a 40-day turnaround to get this, but if Google had long prior conversations, it would suggest that the fix was in. It would be in Google's corporate interest certainly to get access to this major real estate development, would it not?
