Even perennial whipping boy of Tuscany has a density of 2756 people/km2. They should probably be complaining about the sprawl of West Hillhurst, and how the people there aren't covering the operating costs of their (now extremely old and inefficient) infrastructure, like old pipes, small neighbourhood schools, etc.

These are some very good stats to look at, density is coming to those communities long considered the core of the inner-city. However the residents there are putting up just as much of a fight as the suburbs they so often love to hate on. Ultimately there is not much they can do as a lot of the rezoning pretty much allows these larger infills and mini-apartment style developments.
