Sao Paulo poem

How does Toronto's 18,000 units under construction compare with the stat mentioned in this poem:

Quote:
Sao Paulo by Blaise Cendrars

I adore this city

Sao Paulo is after my own heart

No tradition here

No prejudice

Ancient or modern

All that matters is this furious appetite this absolute confidence this optimism this daring this work this labor this speculation which builds ten houses per

hour
in all styles ridiculous grotesque beautiful big small northern southern Egyptian Yankee cubist

With no other concern than to follow the statistics foresee the future the comfort the utility the increment value and to attract a large immigrant population

All countries

All peoples

I love that

The two or three old Portuguese houses that remain are blue china
