What the market wants doesn’t always align with what’s available on the market. Such is life. How DO we manage?

But then isn't the development pattern we see reflective of the intersection of what the market
wants and what the market can
afford?
Like, I think most people would love a large home, large property, but close to amenities (
like this)... But very few can afford that, so the compromise dictated by the general population is detached homes and power centres... Not ideal, but the best (most) people have available to them.
This is why I don't think blanket upzoning is the solution... It doesn't address what the market actually wants and overshoots what's already underutilized for redevelopment.
