We have a housing crisis in Toronto and the Annex benefits from incredible access to transit, education, retail, and other services, yet a low density built form

The population of the Annex house neighbourhoods has actually been shrinking over time whereas there has been some population growth in the few new towers built

It is not fair to tell people seeking housing that the Annex is off limits because there are some old buildings

High density new housing construction is one of the best things Toronto can do for its climate goals and to make good use of its existing investments in transit etc.
