Canada’s political and media class has spent years chasing convenient villains to blame for the housing crisis, pointing the finger at foreign buyers, immigrants, supply shortages, zoning rules, or an overheated market.

As seen in China, it only makes sense to build the city and then move people in. Intermittent building causes inefficiency as you have to build around people and people have to work around building.

Infilling keeps Canada separate and limited. As per the above we have to put the GTA people somewhere while we demo their homes.

If we can string together cities across Canada with rail that has a 30 minute to 1 hour between stops then it makes Canada function much stronger logistically and muvh more defensible.
