I understand "high density" to mean condo neighbourhoods. I understand medium density to mean mid-rise, walk-ups, or town houses.
The situation in Toronto is (and has been for some time) a stark contrast between low-density neighbourhoods of houses & small duplexes/triplexes, and high-density pockets of high-rise condos. This is bad for all the usual reasons of neighbourhood segregation.
- brummm 6y agoI absolutely agree. Toronto has either single family homes (low density) or high rise condos (high density), but the medium density part is absolutely missing and it has a pretty negative effect on Toronto, I feel.
- jeromegv 6y agoThat's the issue. I'm all for condos in Toronto but the issue is lack of medium density, you either own your home and your lawn in the middle of downtown (which is now a multi-million dollar home) or you live in a condo tower of 30 floors. No in-between.
