This whole condo thing which is out of control here in Toronto, is insane in how they have managed to squeeze in these cages everywhere, and they sell for anywhere from 300k and up!
Makes me wonder what 50 years from now would be like. A friend from Tokyo told me it's far worse there than it is here. Amazing.

I have a Matrix too, so I can imagine.
Thanks BTW for the comments, makes it a lot more clear. Guess my only real question left is why not expand North and get some breathing room? Does the weather deteriorate that quickly as you move away from the lakes?
Or, is it more of an societal inertia thing along the lines of what Van mentioned?
That is where the jobs, infrastructure etc already are . . .
My mental image tends to be like Dallas Fort Worth. Large population, but no real physical barriers so it continues to grow at the edges.
Of course, I know everything . . . I just can't remember it all at once.
