Many modern greenfield areas in the GTA are actually planned to be quite close to that. North Oakville is planned to be 30 units/hectare for example - which works out to around 80people/jobs per hectare once you include employment and average unit populations.
I don't imagine Elfrida is going to get built at quite that density (north Oakville needs a lot of condos to get there) - but it'll probably be close. I expect 60-70ppha.
The suburban greenfield market in Hamilton right now is dominated by townhouses - which sell basically as fast as developers can build them. I imagine the greenfield areas will be dominated by that product type. Fruitland-Winona is finally getting it's plan of subdivision applications and it's almost entirely townhouse units.

I was trying to give a slightly higher range than that standard, thanks for bringing it forward though LOL. In any case, I meant it as a means to deliver something not wholly unfamiliar, but not necessarily of the typical minimum reqs. I had no idea townhomes were actually that popular, however. That should bode well- if most of our subdivisions became townhomes, I think we'd all be better off for it. There Isn't really a whole ton of greenfield land available for subdivisions left, at least by comparison with other cities. Best to maximize their use in any case.
