This is a HORRIBLE idea! The key to building more homes is not by creating chaos and building on the environment we are trying to preserve.

I understand and appreciate the necessity to build more homes, but the issue is NOT land. It is with CAPACITY in the industry to build the number of homes we require. We need more supports to get people into the industry, including tuition relief, apprenticeship regulation changes and primary and secondary school exposure.

To entice builders to build the homes that are actually in demand (affordable and low-income housing), the government needs to eliminate land taxes, permitting fees and provide interest-free loans for these developments only. The luxury homes can continue to pay these fees.
