It's nice that he's funding housing. But the EGH is basically 1 big sprawl and will get even bigger and sprawlier.

Not that surprising. Nowhere to go in Missisauga except up. Untouched land all gone.

Nowhere to Build but Up

An old way of doing municipal business—generating development fees by opening farmland to development—is no longer paying dividends. Mississauga, Ontario serves as a cautionary tale for the bottom line of sprawl.

Car insurance companies are gonna love that.

If you count all the people living in residential basements and sharing rooms, it probably already has.

This is what happens when you open the floodgates to migration from India.

Brampton gets bigger?
Is there some sinister reason Brampton becoming a more important city is bad?

LOL like King Arthur said in Holy Grail. "on second thought let's not go to Ottawa, it's a miserable place.

Yes, overcrowding is bad. Specially for no end purpose. Purposeless consumption. Don't want Niagara Falls looking like this. Not only do you get typical landfill waste but also Uranium, Ontario's largest fuel source for electricity. Radioactive material can't just be dumped. Currently just being stored and put away but that can't last forever. Eventually you'll have ppl lining up at Hospitals for blood transfusion because Trudeau thought it was a great idea to double Ontario's population for no point at all 30 years ago.

Wait.
You think a city has to have an "end purpose" for its growing population?
That's a really creepy kind of central authoritarian view of cities.
Is that why you think there won't be any new construction to accommodate the increase in population?

How is that going to be caused by the population of Brampton going up?

I see.
This has nothing to do with Brampton at all.

Meanwhile the city's healthcare situation is in huge trouble.

I wouldn't say that Brampton Memorial Hospital is one of the surgical wings of the William Osler Health System. I preferred to be taken to Etobicoke General over Cortelluci in Vaughan. I was asked, "why do you want to go there, it's full of Indians". I replied "Indians make the best doctors".

 

[Insidious Von]

Brampton already has three hospitals, if you count the one in Malton. I was sent to the Bovaird location for emergency surgery before returning to Etobicoke General. I'm familiar with Etobicoke, I used to live there, I may not have survived if I went to Cortelucci.

Touchy, aren't we?

The influx of immigrations/migrants explains the rapid population growth in Brampton.

Immigration has become a hot topic issue in Canada for legitimate reasons, but that's besides the point.
