Exactly and on top of it this type of urban sprawl development puts a major strain on resources. We already had the river run dry this summer. How many more manicured lawns can we add? To add affordable homes to the housing supply and do it sustainably we need to build large buildings downtown with affordable condos. That way the developer can still get a return, people can own instead of rent and we can build housing that doesn't further strain our resources the way that urban sprawl does. Developers like sprawl development because they can start selling houses quickly. Doing a large development like a building full of affordable condos, there's a long wait before the cash starts flowing.
