Look at what California has been doing in the last 2 years. You force constraints on zoning regulations down on the lower level entities. You force permitting time limits and acceptance rates. You force a minimum level of multifamily lots per population.
It's really really really not as hard as it's presented. It's just in political gridlock.

The municipalities are creations of the province so personally I would assign them just as much blame. The provinces have the most power to address the issue but seem to be happy to hide behind the Feds and Cities.
