This is a daunting challenge but governments at al levels can develop policies that encourage more high tech/super city clusters (apart from Toronto) to develop. Wynne only sees GTA & satellite cities in S. Ontario as worthy of development.  Mayors of mid size cities should do more to encourage new businesses, research centres to locate. The costs to set up offices, employee housing will be much more affordable and yet these cities are big enough to provide high quality support services. Housing costs in VC and GTA area are so high it discourages knowledge workers from outside areas to relocate.  As Richard Florida indicates in his book "The New Urban Crisis" the middle class neighborhoods are hollowed out as the high paid knowledge workers gentrify the best neighborhoods (ie downtown) for themselves and the poor service classes pushed further out. Although affordable public transit, investments in affordable housing help, it will not be enough and cities will increase in inequality.
