Which is a dumb policy, IMO. Let people build their sprawl on the edges, just make sure road layouts and lot sizes support future densification.
Building condos out there means the low income people that buy them need to own and operate a car they can't afford for large distances or spend 3 hours on transit.
Instead, why not have some sort of density swaps where we get more inner city development/housing going where those people can thrive a bit more.
While we're at it, charge people out the ass ton for sitting on unbuilt land. The surface parking lots taking up space perfectly good housing could be occupying need to go.
