The article doesn’t answer the question, but it’s because more affordable housing allows *The Poors* to move into your neighbourhood, and voters *hate* that.

Density definitely needs to be increased in all major cities in Canada, not just Vancouver. Urban sprawl is such a waste of space.

Well, in Ontario is because Ford is doing everything possible to blame the cities for not doing things he has the power to do.
Not to mention all his preference to only care about housing developments in sprawled out neighborhoods alongside his fancy new 400 series highway that he totally definately didn’t plan according to who from a certain stag and doe’s attendance, owns what land in what areas.

Hardly the fault of cities like Vancouver when demand far outstrips our capability to increase supply.
Vassy Kapelos interviewed Marc Miller yesterday and basically confronted him about the fact that LPC immigration levels surpass housing availability (and Miller even admitted earlier in the interview that reducing foreign students has put downward pressure on rents), and he (in other words) said he will proceed with higher immigration targets for other reasons.
