Vancouver just passed single stair plans for 6s buildings so we may see something here which might make a difference.

^^OMG! The people of Junction Triangle rejoice!

^You, like everyone, have the intelligence to look at your situation and make rational adjustments to improve outcomes. Right?! That’s how it works…

^Agreed however if it is going to happen I like to think that I live in an area that is choosing to do it sustainably.

Now to do the adjusted numbers to make these comparable to other jurisdictions such as The States. But I will say that the 664,000 increase for the GTA since 2021 is not too shabby and hopefully will reveal an increase in overall density and revived growth in areas that flatlined in the last census.

^We shall see! There are the dramatic zoning reform and transport improvements to consider plus really high housing completion rates so I think continued growth is a safe assumption overall. But I’m aghast at the cheering/rural, low-density bias in many postings elsewhere!

An uneducated, IG worthy prediction on the eve of the CMA update tomorrow: CMA populations are stable to growing for the top 50% due to a large increase in housing completions as well as a rebound from the pandemic exodus. Declines will be seen in rural areas.
