The data seems to contradict their conclusions. The increase in fatalities is much larger than the increase in driving, so there seems to be something else going on.

I think it's important to remember who's being squeezed here. The people who are trying to decide between a $2m home in Leaside vs a $1m home in Mississauga are probably going to have 2 cars regardless of where they live. And will likely be commuting by GO transit from the suburbs if they work...

And the Sunbelt isn't really more prosperous, just faster growing.

I think this is population within the 1960 city limits (Old Toronto for Toronto). Year Montreal Ottawa Toronto Vancouver 1891 217,000 44,000 181,000 19,000 1911 471,000 87,000 377,000 100,000 1921 619,000 107,000 522,000 117,000 1931 819,000 ??????? 631,000 308,000 1941 875,000 142,000 645,000...

Also my understanding is that only foreign corporations can sue the Canadian government in these courts while Canadian ones can't? I still don't really understand who will be ruling on the cases. From my understanding, out of the 3 people on the tribunal, one would be chosen by the...

What's the average (or median) land area and population for each of the units of measurement for those cities? Their size can have a fairly big impact on the final values. For census tracts, they're usually about 4000 people each. However, I think for Toronto if you used dissemination areas...

I'm not sure if bicycle networks have that much to do with density. But anyways, Montreal's core is denser than Toronto's by and large, the difference is that the suburbs are less dense. Here's a couple maps comparing the two. These aren't census tracts though, mostly they're 2-5 adjacent...

Just using census tract data. The calculations are: [census tract % of urban area population]*[census tract density] and then add up the values for all the census tracts San Francisco is very dense at the core, the pre-WWII neighbourhoods within a couple km of Downtown are denser than any...

Makes me wonder if maybe they aren't going to build much here. Or if they think there's a high risk they won't be able to get the rezoning.

Has your friend ever lived downtown? To be fair though, there's not much of a point living downtown if you work at Pearson/Vaughan.

I doubt you'll ever see a significant number of people commuting from Cambridge to Downtown Toronto. It's more like a domino effect... people working downtown being pushed out to Etobicoke, which will push people working in Etobicoke out to Mississauga, which will push people working in...

Just confirmed this... http://swontariourbanist.blogspot.ca/2016/06/is-torontos-suburban-poverty-shifting.html So census tracts that fell below the very low income threshold in the 90s had 80.64% of units in apartment buildings of >2 units. That fell to 35.30% of units in apartment buildings...

Northern Ontario to me starts at Still River, a little hamlet near the Georgian Bay that's mostly just a bunch of abandoned motels. I see the boundary as mostly the transition from tourism based economy of cottage country to more forestry and mining based. So from that POV makes sense for it to...

BTW, SE Oakville seems to be getting an increasingly high number of foreign investment. At least compared to 10-15 years ago. 10-15 years ago you did have a WASP component to foreign investment with people coming from Britain, Scandinavia, South Africa, the US, but not much from Asia. In the...

It seems like there's been a rather significant increase in low income residents in Milliken in the last few years. That's also pointing towards a new pattern, where cookie cutter small lot SFHs are increasingly home to Toronto's low income population. Most of the census tracts that have fallen...

I'm not sure how much cooling plants would do in the winter, when I agree more warmth can be appreciated. The cooling would be mostly in the summers, which can get a little muggy. Obvious not as bad as much of the rest of the world, but still a little above ideal.

Interesting to see how Chicago compares to Toronto: https://voorheescenter.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/a-deepening-divide-income-inequality-grows-spatially-in-chicago/ Chicago is still much more polarized, with low and high incomes more segregated into different sides of the city, and a much...

People could want to sell if prices start to drop based on the expectation that they will drop further, so might as well try to cut your losses and swap for a less expensive house or rent for a bit. Not sure how big of a segment of the population would think that way, but surely some would. And...

I know there's a map out there that maps buildings according to when they were built (a different colour for each 1-2 decades roughly) that would help give you an idea of which neighbourhoods have the most homes that look like that. I would say mostly 1900-1920 is when they were built, with...
