Yeah... we've tried sprawl for decades and it doesn't work. We need more density: more homes and more amenities in close proximity to all rapid transit stations.
I fail to see how cramming more and more people into increasingly small spaces is going to solve the problem better than spreading people out around the province and preferably across the entire country.
People moving to less populated areas will bring their cost of living down.
Densifying didn’t work anywhere in the world if you want any quality of life.
I suppose people can live in capsule hotel sized homes, but why would anyone want to, and is that in the best interests of society?
