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

Is it feasible to expect the Canadian government to start building high density government housing in the next 15 years?
Until about 30 years ago the federal government used to build public housing, so given the right government I don’t see why not.
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.
