On the other hand my responses here are not meant to be any more or less condescending than the posts I am replying to. And while not a versus thread it is a comparison thread. If you read all my recent posts I believe I have tried to strike a balance in my comments. I lived in Europe for almost ten years and maintain a dual residency so I do have some knowledge there
When someone says that Toronto has passed Madrid and is poised to shortly join the ranks of Paris, NYC and Shanghai though, I do think that's ridiculous - for many reasons that are not really worth getting into here.
But I get it - stay on topic - this is a skyscraper thread and I don't want to steer the discourse here into a (IMO endless and boring exercise) City vs City thing.

So Chicago has low and mid rise density - I don't think anyone has implied it doesn't. So what?
I've lived in Europe as well, do my anecdotes trump yours?
Despite some of the boosterism, pretty sure it wasn't implied that Toronto will be joining the ranks of Paris, NYC, or Shanghai. Just that it should be comparing itself to those cities to compete for capital and talent.
