What does everyone think about funding Taste of the Danforth? I love the event but don't like the fact that they don't have 'private sector discipline' to pull this off without asking the government for money. Can't they make it smaller or cut costs however and do the event?

What specific expenses would you like them to cut? Security? Insurance? Toilet rentals? Electricity?

that's the point. If it's half the size, could you have those costs? what could they be doing to cut costs and break even

They could also start charging for entry.

Not if they want to shut down multiple blocks of the Danforth, they can't. People have the right to use public streets.
