Most of this is wrong, or exaggerated, but you didn't contradict anything I wrote, so not sure of your point.
Again, 90% of Toronto construction is condos (no, mentioning some hotels and office buildings built years ago or proposed for the future doesn't contradict this)
No, you're just another troll with a lack of reading comprehension skills and an unhealthy fixation on Toronto who should be banned.
Here's a brand new pic just taken yesterday of a new 47 storey Delta Hotel and adjacent 30 storey office building under construction in downtown Toronto. One of MANY such NON-CONDO developments currently underway -- or maybe this pic is just a mirage since according to certain people I'm just making everything up?
You do realize that buildings that are under construction will soon be completed buildings visible on the skyline, right? Many of them are already highly visible on the skyline, Aura is almost topped out.

Same applies to other cities. Why don't we just talk about what is there? I mean Toronto building boom is damn impressive even if much of it is the glassy cookie cutter style that will probably look dated in 30 years (Chicago has plenty of these also, don't worry), but still has awhile to catch up, and other cities will have ebbs and flows as well. The steadiness of Toronto's growth won't necessarily last forever. Many cities in the U.S. were having massive booms until stock market drops/real estate bubble, there is nothing evidence wise that says they won't grow substantially again given they have a way longer track record of doing so, esp Chicago or a New York. In Toronto, 108 of the 169 completed 100m skyscrapers in the city were built since 2000, almost 2/3 of the entire prominent skyline.
I came across this post by someone named Tigermaster on another forum, pretty interesting stuff!

Take a look at the racial/ethnic distribution in these two cities. Each dot represents 25 people in Chicago, and one person in Toronto. The contrast between the two cities is amazing. In Toronto there are areas where there is a higher concentration of a certain race, but it is impossible to define a clear geographic divide between races. They're very well mixed together. And if you look closely at areas where a race may be more concentrated, you can still see plenty of people of other races living with them. In Chicago the geographic divide is remarkably clear. One side of the street may belong to blacks and the other to hispanics. And there are almost no people of other races living in areas where one race is dominant.
More vintegrated than chicago yeah, but that map shows a lot of segregated areas as well....
Look more closely, there are NO areas in Toronto that are segregated to one race, there are merely areas where one race is present in larger numbers than the other races.
Anyone else like both cities a lot (or almost equally)?
I do, at least.
I basically like them equally, but the magnitude of the diversity in Toronto gives it a slight edge for me. I love love love them both, though. Toronto, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Washington are my favorite North American cities and I like them all basically equally.
