I have little sympathy for the mayors. Housing has been a problem brewing for decades and precious few municipalities have done anything about it in that time. Now you get a whip cracked in your direction. Too bad.

Indeed, and as a new wester I've seen how much housing supply you can add if you embrace growth. I believe New Westminster is now the densest city in Canada - there's one in the GTA that's pretty close though.

All I'm hearing is "Wah, it's going to cost us money to take care of our residents and make our towns livable!😭"
