Population and Housing

[danbrotherston]

Where the heck are they going to put everyone?  That's crazy.

Allowing basement apartments, “granny suites” in small backyard and laneway buildings, duplexes, triplexes, and townhouses in “single-family” residential zoning would probably do it. Add in a few large towers here and there and it’s probably no problem to put another couple of million people into the City.

More important is building Transit City.

So much this!  There's plenty of room for 1.3 million more people (there are many cities all over the world even in N/A with far higher density, we only have to allow this to be built), but we DO NOT have room for 1.3 million more cars.
