I read elsewhere that Ottawa is 50,000 homes short for the number of people who live here or will do so. Rather than asking can we afford new infrastructure, should we not ask, can we afford not to build new infrastructure.
Txs for the comment. The question is can we build those 50,000 homes in areas already serviced by infrastructure. There is a lot of surplus lands (e.g., Confederation Heights above Billings Bridge) that we can use to build homes without incurring the future liability that comes with new infrastructure.
