I think the problem is that you can never build enough.
Having a surplus would be bad, but having "enough" today would only mean "not enough" tomorrow because it would increase the demand for housing.
How do you even catch up? Where I live, apparently the fastest growing city in Canada (or Ontario), new developments are everywhere - at alarmingly fast rates, and massive amounts of land are being swallowed up by new housing, apartments, condos, etc. Our infrastructure can't keep up, and our tax rates have gone through the roof.
Building more puts hardships on existing residents, especially with the way the Ford government set things up to accelerate development.
It's a tough problem to solve, and I don't think you can make everyone happy. Maybe we need to start converting old malls and commercial buildings to residential property. Other cities are already doing this.
Hello fellow Londoner.

Oof. London is growing fast, too. Probably faster than Oshawa. π΅
