OTTAWA - The parliamentary budget officer says Canada would need to build 1.3 million additional homes by 2030 to eliminate the country's housing gap.

Schools only have a set amount of space and hospitals a set amount of beds.

Bulldoze a neighbourhood of 500 detached units housing 1500 people, 500 of which are children, to build towers which can house 6000, 2000 of which are children, you will then need to bulldoze the school which was there to be able to build another school 4x as large or find vacant land to build extra schools.

More people = more infrastructure not just houses.

IDGAF; it’s still infinitely better than sprawl.
