Toronto was full, it expanded to fill its boundaries. There were (are) obviously some empty spaces, but there was no nice flat open farmland like there is (was) in Mississauga. Toronto's airport happened to be there. Mississauga is Toronto in all but name. It's surburban through and through and I laugh when people claim that it is one of Canada's largest cities. It simply would not exist if not for Toronto.
It's easy to have a balanced budget with constant massive development for 30 straight years. Talk to me in 30 more years when all their nice shiny infrastructure is crumbling like Hamilton's and there is no longer double digit growth. Then we'll see how balanced their budget is.

it's already starting...they had a larger tax increase than Hamilton last year.
it's only just beginning.
