Wait, Ontario plans to build 1.5 million homes?
Although, the second they mentioned the 10 year period I felt that someone in the middle of the project will likely get bored and drop the entire idea.
They want to make 1.5 million single family homes "to attack the housing crisis".
The most expensive type of home.
Why are they so averse to the idea of taller building with flats? Single family homes aren't going to work for so many people, I wonder just what prompts these people to try ridiculous ideas instead of what our renters need
Since they're so expensive, Ford's developer donors make more money off single-family homes than anything affordable.
Exactly this. Doug Ford could do better, but serving the fascist donors and is more beneficial for him personally. We need to elect NDP/Liberal Premiers in this country.
Is it feasible to expect the Canadian government to start building high density government housing in the next 15 years?
To expect them to without a cultural shift to make the government not drag ass? Not in your lifetime.
Besides we haven't paid a consultation firm several dozen million over a period of a decade to get an answer the developers want to hear.
Rent is theft.
Until about 30 years ago the federal government used to build public housing, so given the right government I don't see why not.
