Their solution is more single family zoning urban sprawl…this is sheer insanity, they’ve had 7 years and all they’ve got is “we’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas”?
Where are you reading that? The article says this
Oh nice, I read another article that didn’t mention have as much detail than CBC’s. but that’s still low rise builds, and “potentially” explore higher density…that’s a big if
Another article I saw had a long video in it where an official was even talking about support for local changes that would even make co-ops easier to build/establish. Need to look into it more, but I hope that's true.
Ya co-ops would be a nice addition too. And removing parking space requirements/single family/duplex zoning from most urban areas.
Why bother read the article right?
The article specifically says will “explore” higher density in the future, which is a vague promise at best. Other local articles I’ve read also paint a picture of mostly SFH designs or at best some other kind of low density design. They’ve had 7 years to address this issue, “explore” is hardly promising.
I thought we moved past this unconstructive, passive aggressive behaviour on Lemmy when we left Reddit? Other posters here have been a lot more constructive, like Cygnus and LostWon, for example.
