The real problem is that the low rise single family homes the nimbys live in need to be replaced by mid-density two and three story brownstone type walkups and stacked town homes. But because Toronto insists on 'protecting neighbourhoods' which is official speak for supporting nimbyism of the most stagnant and destructive type, the only options for denser housing are small sites built very high on fast moving arterials.

 52% of Toronto households live in apartment style dwellings. It's time their residents and young people step up to have the city developed equally for their needs as well as the 'capital' needs of single family homeowners.
