You guys are quick to throw out the old ideas regarding rich vs poor, discrimination, etc. but maybe try a different approach, and we can possibly come up with a solution or two.

Allow upzoning in all areas. 2-3 story townhouse with no yards should be permitted everywhere as part of base zoning. Tax base on best use rather than current property value. Kick old ladies out of there houses by making the the taxes unaffordable to allow for densification.
For Toronto in particular fix the missing middle problem by eliminating the multi family restrictions.

Next you create a crown corp to build rental housing on a break even basis.
