That's because they keep trying to build houses whose primary objective is to be profitable for developers and/or investors. They keep building either suburban subdivisions or isolated condo towers. We need to be building to house people, not to create profit, i.e, we need to be building off market housing. And to make it work, we need to be building housing in transit oriented, mixed use walkable neighborhoods, not in car centric suburban sprawls.
I agree- we need more midrise buildings throughout.
IMO Canada's problem isnt one of feasibility but of desire. By and large, people dont WANT midrise apartment buildings. The vast majority of people want the white picket fence dream in a subdivision and two cars. I think the govt needs to get back into building housing on both the federal and provincial level, not just leaving it up to the upper tier municipalities. The housing that IS built by those municipalities typically is exactly what you're requesting - less car centric, cheaper, midrise buildings. They just don't build enough of them. If we can make enough of those buildings by the govt (who can ignore the low profitability of those builds), maybe we can make them desirable enough that people change their mind about suburbia. At the very least, providing apartments meant for a full family would be a huge step forwards compared to the current offerings.
