The fact that we failed to properly assess costs to ‘old suburbs’ doesn’t mean we should give up on assessing them to new ones.
Trying to retroactively fix the portion the ‘old burbs’ pay will only exacerbate the problem by tipping the scales further in favour of buying new.
I’m no expert on zoning, but I think we should be making some big changes with a long runway right now. In 2040, ‘old burbs’ are eligible for more densification (ie. multi-unit on those big lots in Oakridge), as well as newer burbs within a certain distance of LRT.
It gives lots of time for everyone to plan accordingly.
