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?

    We also need to address the fact that using houses as money-making ventures and also not paying people are both gigantic problems.
