The next Toronto.... Seattle vs Miami??

[SaintX]

I’ve been to all three within the last year. I’d say Seattle and Toronto have a more similar feel as Miami is a pretty unique destination. As far as high rise development, Miami is much closer to Toronto and it’s not that close.

It doesn't appear much of the growth is in the city, as the proper will be projected to lose one parliamentary seat in future elections.

Well Toronto city proper alone grew by 63K from 2016 to 2021 and is now at 2.79 million residents

The Greater Toronto and Hamilton region which is more equivalent to a U.S MSA grew by 327K and is at 7.3 million. I don't think i'm being generous enough here re: MSA but its the best analogue I can find.

The Golden Horseshoe which is the equivalent of a U.S CSA grew from 9.2 million in 2016 to 9.7 million in 2021

Also of note, Toronto's DT population grew by 38K or 60 percent of all of Toronto city proper's growth and is now at 276K residents. This is double the population of the next largest DT population in Canada Vancouver with 121K residents.

So i'm not sure how they distribute parliamentary seats, but that's still robust growth even during a pandemic. Toronto however, as an overall representative percentage of the GTHA has gone down, from 39.3 percent to 38.4 percent. That said, the seat is probably redistributed to somewhere in the GTA anyway.

This isn't too unusual as the pandemic freaked some people out of large urban areas to more quiet suburban one's. I suspect for the next census, things will start to become more like they were between 2011 to 2016.

Cleveland can also potentially become the next Toronto since it borders one of the Great Lakes like Toronto does.
