New condos need affordable options
Local councils should do more to ensure that some kind of affordable component becomes part of every big new housing project.

Hear, hear!

While I agree that we need to be more pro-active in creating purpose-built affordable housing, I had a lot of issues with the article. I don't understand why the editorial board seems so focused on developers being the only solution to this problem. How do you write an article about affordable housing and not once suggest any others should play a role (specifically the government)? I'm all for developers building more supply, but I don't believe they alone will ever be the ones to solve our housing crisis.
