on 1/6 acre or less I imagine that be encouraged by the municipality.. Here in Toronto, aside from the plethora of apartment condos most newbuild is 'infill' ie. older homes on large lots are torn down and multiple single family homes built to replace them.. Trend still more home / lot unless you move to the remoter burbs... even places that 1 hour commute are decreasing lot size and doing infill.. Much better tax base and return on services for the municipality... Larger immigrant buying where they seem less concerned about large lot.. Kind of strange looking in some cases... but more efficient.. Getting closer to looking like older parts of the city... no/tiny space between homes... lots of freehold townhomes with laneway and garage in the back...

Its quite a picture isn't it ? And all happening so fast that by 2025, China will build enough skyscrapers to fill TEN New York-sized cities and moving toward 1Bil city dwellers . What a world we create ...commutes around here range in the 2-3hrs a day ...from north to SanFran & south to San Jose or Silicon Valley with woefully inadequate mass transits . Gridlock is everyday & the highways are wall to wall as we spent spent on "other things" this last 11yrs instead of infrastructure & transit . The county of Napa in the famous wine region is now one of the most expensive areas to buy into in the US , quality of life is still wonderful there just north of the Bay . Asked where they would most want to live other than the homeland many Chinese will say the USA have heard, so we might be experiencing some sizeable investment there in yrs to come ...
