We've discussed the housing crisis before. That would include the destabilizing combination of housing availability - in particular a weak supply of new construction - and the immigration-driven population growth.
We are close to hitting bottom in the criminalization of profit making from providing housing (including rentals) in Canada making housing as scarce and expensive as possible. Regulation, taxes and embedded green theocracy including global initiates such as UN Agenda 2030 - has done this along with the neo-feudal nature of Canada's shortage of private developable land. Nothing will change until perhaps a change in federal government but don't expect much as those with housing are ambivalent to the plight of those without it but as their property rights are increasingly extinguished they may become more aware.
I sent an email as you requested and this is the response I received:

There was some experimentation in the last 50 years at housing styles that would allow “family-like groups” to live together with a combination of private and public spaces so that every “family” did not have the equivalent of a single home/basement/garage itself. A much smaller footprint. The question is how to get from here to there. We need more “ makers/tradesmen; maybe 3-D printing can contribute. Change rarely comes till the situation we are in becomes intolerable for those with something to lose. Where are the visionary architects and builders not focused on building for the very rich but for normal people. Any philanthropists who would like to endow a chair in social architecture out there? Governments won’t solve this though it would be nice if they didn’t make it worse.

Best,

That is funny and I can't explain it. I'll just add it to the many things I can't explain. Other emails have certainly been getting through.
Thanks for trying, at least!
