This kind of densification is very subtle in that no one is suddenly waking up to find a 30-storey condo tower across the street, but a steady stream of projects that replaces 5 people living in 2 houses with, say, 26 people living in 16 condos sure will add to the area's population count.

I'm impressed with the design of these projects. Over the past 5 or 6 years the standards of new condos in the area have improved significantly. Of course, not all of the new buildings are gems, but we're generally not seeing as much crap like this mid-2000s condo on Stradbrook as we used to:
