A lot of highrises, granted they're all ugly suburban builds, but they're still highrises.

Edmonton is what surprises me the most, a rapidly growing population with the most liberal housing policies in the country. But then again it could be these liberal housing policies which are spreading the supply away from highrises construction into "missing middle" structures.
