Patrick Condon isn't an urban planner, he's a landscape architect. And he's still teaching landscape architecture -
he hasn't retired. He's an expert on trees and shrubs.
He's also not good with the numbers that his arguments are based on. "B
etween 1970 and 2020, the city tripled the number of homes within its limits, primarily by adding density to already built-up areas." The 1971 census identified 153,395 occupied private dwellings in the city. In the 2021 census there were 305,336. So the city has twice as many homes (and households) over a 50 year period.
