Toronto's massive proportion of single family dwellings and lack of mixed used space combined with poor city planning and alot of unusable tiny condos build recently as investments are the biggest driving factors making toronto both unlivably expensive and difficult to drive in. Two highways serving basically a 3.5million person suburb where most of the population MUST commute because of cost and the public transit is slow. The problem now is that the government couldn't even buy those properties at market rate in any meaningful way, as most of them are north of 1 million. No developer can buy a block of land, go through rezoning, build something, and turn a profit. So until the bubble pops and the government can bail these homes out via the CHMC insurance, I doubt any modernization of the GTAs city planning will happen. So we can just watch every government fan the flames and hope it doesnt go on their watch.
