Frisco also has South Asian families. And you've provided zero evidence that basement apartments are more common in Brampton than they are in Frisco. If anything the opposite is likely true.
Brampton AVERAGES over 5800/square mile, and that's with plenty of undeveloped land.

Frisco/Plano have south Asians, but not anywhere near in the massive 40% share that they represent in Brampton. north dallas suburbs are largely white with some racial minorities here and there. multigenerational housing is one reason that Los Angeles achieves such high densities, and you come across it in discussions of Asian ethno-burbs like Brampton as well.
Plano averages 3900 ppl/sq mile. Brampton is 5800. both are shit, urbanistically (staten island is around 10,000 ppll/sq mile). Both are suburbs with relentlessly suburban built environments.
I don't think you can argue against the point that Brampton has many similarities to Frisco/Plano/Richardson, in terms of the (suburban) lifestyle it offers inhabitants, notwithstanding somewhat higher (but still very low) densities and somewhat higher transit share.
also, brampton is not a 'city', any more than the woodlands or frisco are. these are big suburbs with tiny downtowns.
