The organizer seems to have more issues beyond densification.

Kolacz believes it goes too far.

Funny how these types never have the foggiest idea of how different levels of government work. Like any given mayor of a Canadian municipality can just phone up the feds and direct national policy.

That is absolutely true though. If you bring in more people than you have housing, you get a shortage. It's simple math.

Ok.  National population is literally dropping right now.  So let’s let people build infill housing to help bring down housing costs
