The location of where you live does not define your contribution to sprawl. The amount of land you occupy does. So a Condo dweller anywhere in the city has a lower impact on sprawl than anyone who Ives in an SFH.

Part of the reason some people dislike her in Ward 7 is she does push hard for intensification. But she also pushes developers to try and do better, design better and provide more public benefit.
She's strong in her opinion, which sure rubs some people the wrong way, but in my view we'd have been worse off as a city and as a ward if she hadn't come along.
