In Calgary, this shortage is severe. Even Bunk, who doesn't agree with me on this issue, has conceded that there is a serviced lot shortage, although he blames the developers for it.

So the City should make sure there is enough serviced land for any interested party to buy? I thought the more important role for the City was to ensure that development to accommodate the needs of the city can take place and in an orderly/sustainable fashion.
