Toronto (as a region) is getting about 100 000 new residents every year. It's hard to say that supply and demand isn't working because really, there is SO MUCH DEMAND, supply can hardly catchup. Montreal still has a decent cost of living for housing and guess what, that's because their demand is lower (harder for non-French speaking people to establish themselves there)

That is true, but it is not the whole answer, as rent increases even in cities where population is stagnant or decreasing.

But yes, Toronto needs more affordable high density rental housing, as well as much better transit.
