I'd like to see a few more highrises in the Beltline, but tbh, I enjoying all of the 6 storey builds and rowhomes going up in inner city areas. Toronto's mass amount of apartment towers create a lot of density, but I don't find their overall new housing builds very diversified. It's apartment towers or nothing.
