Instead of being critical of the decisions of others, what do you suggest?
Arm chair critics are a dime a dozen, what are your ideas on how to address the housing problems?
- throwayyy479087 4y agoZone every inch of currently settled land to allow 6 story mixed use buildings, by right. Don’t require anything to build besides engineering and safety checks - no chance for NIMBY input. Do this federally.
- adverbly 4y agoNot sure if I'd do it federally... maybe start with a few trial cities or areas where the idea has a lot of support... But I'd be all for trying something like this!

- pepperonipizza 4y agoSeems to be the fastest and easiest thing to do. But it goes against our current paradigm of looking for perpetual growth, the government will never reverse this policy

- nerdbert 4y agoA vacancy tax is the non-racist approach, which attacks the problem directly. However it is politically challenging because it also affects local monied interests, who under Canada's anti-foreigner law are able to continue exacerbating the housing problem without check.
