This can be a poor way to resolve increasing population growth.  First of all population growth targets have been dictated by the Province of Ontario; Places to Grow Act, 2005.  They have predicted that 150,000 people will come to the GTA each year, and have forced the municipalities to accomodate the swelling population.  It doesn’t make sense to build on farmland, and it doesn’t make sense to overburden a community with unwanted density.  There are ways to grow smartly.  See organizations section.  Super density, where the environment, roads, neighbourhood design cannot tolerate the density, should not be forced upon residents, as it was in the Liverpool and Bayly development, with the addition of a third tower that exceeds the urban density footprint by 60% !  The city needs to stand up to the province, and tell them there are limits to growth, especially when there aren’t jobs to accompany the residential boom.  Who benefits from so much development?  Obviously, the land developers and builders do.
