Are Cities Responsible for Canada’s Housing Crisis?

This week, John and Urmi return with Move Smartly Ideas, a semi-regular sit down about the biggest ideas that John’s thinking, writing and talking to the media about this month. 

Today, John is going to look at the policy and academic arguments that blame cities for housing shortages to assess how valid they are.

If you enjoy listening to our show and find it informative, I’d like to ask you to take a moment to leave a five-star review on Apple podcasts. We know a lot of you are listening and we’d love to see this better reflected in our ratings - doing this helps to ensure that other listeners can find our show and that together, we can hopefully better the level of discourse we need to have in Toronto and Canada if we are to become better educated about housing as both consumers and citizens, and hopefully, start to see better housing outcomes for all.
