The problem is that what housing is being built, it is done in the least efficient and most stupid way possible, i.e., car dependent suburban sprawl around major cities.

We need massive investment in building new housing, but for it to not be shitty, it has to transit oriented and following serious urbanist principles. Something like that seems to be happending with the REM in Brossard, but we need a lot more of that: https://piped.video/watch?v=0tbSM4-HC0w
