I say this because I'm getting tired of having this fight everytime something greater then 4 stories is suggested in a urban ward. These proposals get fought using the same arguments regardless of the actual location, and when push comes to shove the same idea comes up that density can come from midrise, but then these same advocates councillors included ignore what would be required to do exactly that.

Density can come from midrise yes BUT to do requires more of the old to be replaced.

So I'll say this again, by the cities own growth estimates at an infill rate of 60%. It would require ~1-2 blocks/year/ward (excluding rural wards), of SFH to be completely demolished and replaced with 613 flats of 6+ units to meet the infill goal.

So as for this towers, the floor space of the towers are just making up for the infill density lost to SFH.
