The people saying a few days ago that condos cause fewer children will now immediately change their minds and start arguing that the single family homes of Etobicoke north cause fewer children right?

Why are environmental NGOs like @envirodefence pushing governments so hard to densify existing neighbourhoods & shift construction from detached houses to denser building types? A big part of it is summed up right here:
Planning: "The scientific, aesthetic and orderly disposition of land, resources, facilities and services with a view to securing the physical, economic and social efficiency, health and well-being of urban and rural communities." Also planning:

A free market could have never resulted in a map like this. Core neighbourhoods losing population is a systemic outcome of city planning failures, instituted by residents via city council to block opportunities for those left out. It must change!

Simply put, Toronto’s civic leaders do not comprehend how much poorer our city is as a result of this. Many more people would have access to more productive jobs, higher skill clustering, and higher disposable income, had we not planned away Toronto’s economic future.

50 years of population change in Toronto. I will not be accepting any arguments about insufficient infrastructure capacity from University-Rosedale, Toronto-Danforth, Davenport, Beaches-East York, or Parkdale-High Park.

Owning the land doesn't mean that you are making a more meaningful contribution to the community and should get more say. This ain't feudal Europe.

We are thrilled to announce the Official Mayoral Housing Debate hosted by More Homes Mississauga! 🏘️ Featuring @DipikaDamerla, @carolynhparrish & @AlvinTedjo, and moderated by CP24 Anchor @LeenaLatafat Register now before spots fill up: mhmdebate.eventbrite.com
It’s scary how much population loss correlates with low density zoning. By arbitrarily protecting the “sanctity” of low-rise places, Toronto is actively signing away its economic and environmental future.

An overdue update on long population timelines for Vancouver and Toronto, adding in 2021 data for 50 year population change timelines 1971 through 2021. doodles.mountainmath.ca/posts/2024-04-…
The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.

City planning has been failing for decades upon decades, and Jane Jacobs' criticisms of the profession were fundamentally correct. The only "bottom-up" way to plan out a city is to let the market handle most of it.

50 years of population change in Toronto. I will not be accepting any arguments about insufficient infrastructure capacity from University-Rosedale, Toronto-Danforth, Davenport, Beaches-East York, or Parkdale-High Park.
@alexbozikovic Given the long timeframe, not that much changed since 2016. But for the record, here is the population change up to 2021.
