Tale of two cities: Why Edmonton builds homes faster than Toronto - National | Globalnews.ca
Toronto is lagging cities such as Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver, where housing starts are on the rise. They're falling in Toronto, and experts say city policy is a culprit.

A lot of positive coverage outside the city when it comes to our ZBR however internally the story is a bit different. Will be interesting to see how it plays out in municipal election.

It is great in theory, but when it is your neighbourhood some large new buildings that don't fit in well are being built in, that is a different story.
I wish councilors who were on holidays would have been around to vote for some of the changes, it would have helped quell the rising concern.

If NIMBYs think an 8 unit row house is a big new building, they should come to Vancouver where 50 floor towers are being built next to historic homes.

Examples?

I find the Vancouver examples off putting because when it comes to location, climate and physical constraints our city is nothing like Vancouver.
Might as well be comparing Tibet and Saskatchewan.

Search for the Broadway Plan. Fencing has gone up on E 10th Ave to protect the trees at the first houses to fall to high-rise development. Plus council is being asked tomorrow to rezone almost 5,000 properties to some form of high-rise.
