Yeah, and forget about cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Random low-desirability, low-growth Canadian cities are much more apartment oriented than their U.S. counterparts. Compare Sarnia, ON to Port Huron, MI. They're sister-cities of similar size and economic makeup, but Sarnia has clusters of apartment blocks everywhere, and Port Huron has basically none.
Also, like every comparative observation, you can twist to fit whatever agenda. We could ask "why do Canadian cities underperform relative to the U.S. in terms of nice, large SFH?"? Port Huron has far more nice SFH than Sarnia. It's all perspective.
