This is just to the northwest of Don Mills Road and Sheppard.

Looks jammed in there to me.

Toronto should be bulldozing swaths of bungalow neighbourhoods that waste tonnes of land instead of further intensifying little pockets of lands that are already very dense.

Toronto should allow gentle density increases in the "yellow belt", but who knows how long it'll be until that's politically feasible.

What is the yellow belt?

 

[interchange42]

Neighbourhoods, mostly made up of single family homes, totally protected from density increase, and which all have declining population and make up the majority of the city's landmass. These areas show up yellow on Official Plan maps.

Let's be real. "Gentle density" is a trojan horse term. It's like, "density but not really". None of the apartment buildings that house hundreds of thousands of people in downtown east, Parkdale, Cosburn Ave in East York, High Park etc would not have been built if gentle density had been a thing in 60s and 70s. Toronto has way too much emphasis on not offending existing SFH neighbourhoods and people who live in them. And gentle density is a continuation of that.

 

[interchange42]

You arguing with yourself?

[Silence&Motion]

With all of the density getting created around Fairview mall, has there been a single grocery store built? Has there been anything at all done to make these new high-density neighbourhoods walkable in the least? From what I can see, people are still forced to walk for at least 15 minutes across 7 lanes of traffic and through windswept, trash-strewn parking lots to get basic things like milk.

 

[interchange42]

There is a grocery store going into the next phase at Emerald City to the south, along wth a umber of other shops. To the north of Sheppard though, I am unaware of new shops here.
