   Increasing supply is an obvious solution to the province’s desperate   
   shortage of housing, but in Ontario it qualifies as fresh new thinking. For   
   too long, housing development has been delayed or blocked by municipal   
   politicians and community groups who will do everything they can to stop   
   other people from getting houses or apartments.   
      
   Certain types of Ontarians routinely describe new suburban development as   
   appalling sprawl, even when it’s denser than older suburbs in city centres.   
   Intensification is acceptable in theory, so long as it is not in the   
   neighbourhoods of those already comfortably housed. Housing developers are   
   typically depicted as greedy because they seek to make a profit, unlike all   
   those other business owners who operate solely for the public good.   
      
   These are views one can reasonably hold, as long as one believes that young   
   people should sleep in their cars and that the border should be closed to   
   stop the immigration that is driving housing demand in Ontario, particularly   
   in Toronto.
