We know what the meaning of the word less is. But it needs to be qualified with reasons and numbers. Simply saying less immigration because it seems like the right thing to do does not mean it is.
Yeah sure, because anything outside of downtown Toronto doesn't actually exist.
"I wish my nice residential street had a bunch of fourplexes on it to make it more congested"...said no one ever.
Montreal? You mean the city in decline for the past several years? The city no one wants to move to including companies? That one?
Hmmm...I wonder why?
Not quite but by your measure, anyone who doesn't live in the bicycle-centric core of a city should just be ignored and forgotten.
There are other models for cities than the 1960's suburban sprawl you and DoFo love.
Stacked shoeboxes in the sky may appeal to the minority of pinko's on this board but I would guess most other people would choose differently.
Just for laughs, how would you house the influx of immigrants Trudeau has let in if you wanted to confine them to downtown Toronto?
I'll wait.
Let me introduce to you the concept of the 'condominium', perhaps you'd like to study how many have been build downtown and how many are under construction.
Yeah too many.
Like I said...shoeboxes in the sky causing congestion and crowing making the city too dense.
Given a choice, most people prefer a house over a condo. Any idea why that is?
You better go tell everyone who bought one they're wrong, then.
Why do right wingers think their views count more than other people?
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.
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?
