That's pretty much all of Canada, even our biggest cities are too scared to zone properly in fear that they'll have to actual govern and educate their electorate, easier to just assume the next guy will.
I've been a public servant for three years and all I've taken away from my short time is that the public can't be trusted to do anything to benefit society.
There is a great video that shows how most north american cities struggle with this "missing middle". It also shows how some cities are starting to change this slowly. There are parts in Toronto this was implemented in the 1940s but we have slowly forgotten these parts of the city.
