Increasingly concerned citizen.
When's the pod episode coming out?
I would like to hear your thoughts on where Canada faces the same challenges and where we are distinct.

It's decades overdue! I used to live in a 10-storey in Kits and there was hardly anything around like it because they changed the zoning in the 70s to suppress growth.

Honestly, they got everyone in the same place at the same time facing the same way. That's better than a lot of us are doing.

I really wonder how much of Canada's economic malaise and low productivity is directly a result of all available cash going to rent and land speculation.
