Ontario’s Housing Tracker. I would love to see unit type breakdown as well as maps of where this housing is being built.

Tracking housing supply progress

Find out how many new homes have been started toward Ontario’s housing goals.

I noticed that Mississauga's 2023 target is one of the only ones that's higher than the housing since 2022. Looking at other big cities like Toronto, Brampton, Oakville, Markham, none of them are that high.
 
January 2024 housing starts and breakdown for CMAs.

I wish housing starts included housing demolitions (net housing starts, not gross). I know it's intended to show economic contribution but I'm much more interested in how the total count of each type changes.

Stats Canada tracks demolitions but IIRC it's a paid report.

Numbers for cities in Ontario for July 2023. If City of Toronto is at 3,110,000 last year it is at least 3,200,000 now. Also Mississauga has started growing again and Brampton is exploding! 💥

Are US Metros/Cities seeing this? Australia? Will look.

The lack of high rises u/c in the Bay Area and LA is shocking, especially considering the crisis of housing there.
I was in San Jose earlier this year and was pretty surprised how low-rise it is. The hotel I stayed at was 22 floors and that made it close to the tallest building I could see out from my room window, and there was a very good wide view all the way to the coastal mountains. Hamilton seemed to have a comparable skyline.

I wonder is this is related to underlying thoughts of the ‘Big One’ ? A ‘mega-thrust’ earthquake of greater than 9 on the Richter Scale. (There is ample ongoing research along the various fault lines running through California and into B.C to suggest this scale of quake has been reached in the past and is entirely possible in the future). The Bay Area has in recent times endured the quake of 1989 (6.9) and in very command and popular folklore, the quake of 1906, which levelled the city. The 2011 earthquake in Japan was 9.0 and I think we are all aware of the damage caused by that quake - nuclear and otherwise.
 
This is interesting as it combines adjacent cities even if they are in different countries. So Detroit-Windsor and San Diego-Tijuana.

Those are by far the busiest border crossings, both with multiple points of entry/exit to handle a large number of daily commuters.

There are at least 10 different bus services you can catch at San Ysidro station (San Diego trolley stop at the border) to take you to downtown Tijuana. There are unfunded plans to extend the San Diego trolley about 1 mile into Tijuana to make these transfers easier.
