Inspiring story, can we be like that again?
So much of the extra costs of building seems to be endless rounds of reviews and revisions. Sure, building things better is… better, but we've seen this process hijacked by NIMBY's (IMHO).

We need better infill policies.
My fear is that we're going to have huge amounts of federal funding coming in to municipalities to build massive swaths of suburban sprawl in the name of additional housing, putting more fuel on the fire that is car dependence.
Even new developments that have "mixed-use" multifamily are depressing to be in when they're completely isolated from the rest of the city and you can only go in or out with a car.

Somewhat reasonable take from former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole. Mainly because I juxtapose it against the current Conservative opposition which seems to be incapable of anything but squawking "Y no budget? Oil project when?"
