This has been my gripe for a long time now. If you took the words seriously, rigorously, if we established a clear right to housing in the Charter, then you'd basically nuke municipal zoning nearly in its entirety — certainly as it's practiced in Ontario.

Courtyard buildings are the answer.

And there you have it. I don't see how this initiative builds a single more home, and I'm unclear how the federal government's decision to waive its own development charge freeze condition will help lower homebuilding costs.
