Housing shortfall, costs and affordability

[tomh009]

The thing about Ford is that he has basically no values. Now, I've before said that he does seem to respond when people are angry at him, and this is absolutely true...he'll pander to whomever most recently yelled at him.

Yes. This is the basic definition of a populist--neither conservative nor progressive.

That being said, I don't think this is particularly controversial. There are basically no politicians who actually want to solve the housing crisis...and of the general population, it's very non-mainstream view to understand how single family homes are harmful to cities.

Credit to the Kitchener council for at least doing something about this. Growing Together is not quite as much as I would like to see (as it leaves the surburbs untouched) but it's at least a good first step.
