Says the guy who doesn't realize that things actually do exist outside of the downtown core. Apparently that's the only view you have.
How many people do you think, given the choice, would choose living in a condo vs a house? Just curious.

How many people do you think, given the choice, would choose living in a condo vs a house? Just curious.
1/3 of all ridings in Canada are in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. 80% of Ontario live in urban settings.
You really don't understand.
Let's try that again...
How many people do you think, given the choice, would choose living in a condo vs a house?
Lots of them.
No maintenance, more conveniences, better locations....
Yes...I'm not sure if I like the fees but there are many advantages for sure.
"Lots of them"...what an informative answer.
More people prefer houses vs condos. But don't let the facts get in your way.
According to the survey, What Homebuyers Want 2023, a staggering 62% of respondents strongly preferred fully detached homes in the suburbs. Additionally, 71% of prospective buyers revealed their desire to move to suburban or rural areas. This aligns with the trend of individuals migrating from cities to smaller towns across Canada.

A majority, 62% of Canadians, prefer single-family homes, a significantly higher percentage than those drawn to condos or apartments (20%) or townhomes (10%).

I'd say 1/3 is lots of them.
Thanks for confirming my point.
If that poll said how many people would prefer a castle with a swimming pool downtown to a one bedroom basement apartment, what do you think the numbers would be?
How about if the poll was about if they'd like free ponies?
You keep arguing that people should only be allowed to buy suburban sprawl then defending the system that makes them unaffordable and unavailable.
You argue for something you are making impossible.
You don't care about anything outside the city centre so arguing about anything outside of that is really pointless with you.
If you're against building housing outside of downtown then what point are you actually trying to make here other than you prefer that everyone live in over-crowded cities even though the majority of people prefer not to?
Your survey also said 1/3 of younger people don't think they will ever be able to afford a house.
You're pushing for something people can't afford anymore and won't back changing the system so they could.
I have a home, a big home, and I'm not ready for condo living yet but someday maybe for sure...I don't think I'll be ever up for a high rise condo but a house condo in a gated community is something that appeals to me.
Not quite...you think everyone should live downtown. You are pivoting to affordability. Condos downtown are the most expensive in the country so that's not the point.
You prefer everyone to live in the city core regardless of affordability.
No, skoob.
Suburban sprawl is the worst use of resources and civic design ever.
You can choose to live there if you want but you can't tell people those are the only choices you think count.
When 2/3 of people prefer houses it's not me telling anyone what their preferences are.
"I have a family of 4 and I want to live in a downtown condo with no backyard, Airbnb party units next to me and down the street from a safe-injection site"...said no one ever.
Said everyone who lives in New York, London and Paris.
You're just a coward and the rest of us aren't.
City's are safer than rural areas.
Ah yes the desperate name calling tactic.
The death knell of someone losing an argument.
Guess what...you lose...again.
You always try to declare you've won an argument when you know you've lost.
Its really sad.
All your arguments fell apart.
Again.
Says the guy who starts name calling when he can't answer questions or debate a topic reasonably.
When you have nothing left but to name call and insult, that's a sign you lost the argument.
ps you lost.
Says the guy who starts name calling and calling people trolls when he's called out for name calling.
