It's crazy that so much of Toronto being flat or shrinking is unremarked or actively hidden. You get Cllr Mike Colle, whose ward grew only 1.7pc, saying his constituents are "threatened" by constant change. Or residents in the Annex, which has fewer people, saying there's no space for more density

Thanks to everyone who participated but it turns out that none of you were able to imagine the greatest horror: a successful small business with beef patties.
Councillor Shan moves to exclude three streets in his ward. He worries the retail spaces created won't just be small shops selling ice cream to locals, but things like "beef patties that are so popular that people from the 905 will come to get it." That'll just add to traffic problems, he says.

this reads to me like a very strong argument for Montreal’s arrondissement system, aka giving Toronto’s boroughs aka the pre-amalgamation boundaries some actual power.
