    That is a false dichotomy. Housing is expensive in Canada due to zoning laws forcing a very inefficient use of land, among other reasons.

    I lived in Europe for decades, so I know for a fact that making our streets pleasant to walk around isn’t some weird utopia, it is the basic reality in many developed countries.

      Not sure if that is accurate in BC, we have 3+ story townhomes with mainfloor being shopping/ services. Tons of quadplexes, and 50-100 unit condos like crazy.
