It's also a bad example of density for a major North American city. Toronto (4,334.4/km2) has lower pop. density than San Francisco (7,255.12/km2), and Boston (5,531.93/km2) and its nearest comparison is probably Chicago (4,573.98/km2).

"Toronto" now officially includes things like North York, Etobicoke, etc, which are car-centric, post-WW2 bedroom communities.
Old Toronto is 8,210.4/km2 (21,265/sq mi):

Even Etobicoke may not be very low-density in places like Long Branch and Mimico.
The fact that so much land was wasted building low-density (North York, Scarberia) sub-divisions (not even getting into McCallion and her disaster of Mississuaga) now means there is high demand but limited supply. Of course now the regions of Peel and Durham (etc) have 'found religion' with regards to density.
