No one wants to talk about the elephant in the room. Canada has 'housing' but no one wants to live in anything other than a detached house close to the city.

Lots of condos, semi-detached, and townhouse, however no one wants them because you have to have a detached home to have made it in life.
I can't remember in my twenties obsessively wanting a detached house.
GenX is buying up all the houses after selling their condos and townhouse they bought as first homes.
Same people who's first car needs to be a 2022 BMW.
- slothtrop 4y ago> however no one wants them This is completely made up. Look at the prices they fetch. If you build it, they will come; zoning heavily restricts the level of mixed development, hence you mostly see detached homes or very large condo buildings with little in between like triplexes. There's a reason Montreal has generally been more affordable for years than other large Canadian cities (population notwithstanding).
