It’s interesting to perspectives from elsewhere. The Netherlands is also facing a housing crisis, and they’re also talking about significant increases in construction. Part of that will be to limit local control.

Interestingly, they’re also talking about changing the type of construction: fewer rooms.

There isn’t quite enough context to explain why that would help, but it’s something I haven’t really heard politicians saying here in Canada.

What changes would you make to speed up housing growth here?

    That’s the problem. Here it would be billed as a “Luxury Tiny Home Experience” and they’d charge $3k/month rent. Corpos know plebs don’t have money, so the only market is the luxury market.
