Really interesting insights. I would seem so simple to prioritize replacing distressed, poorly built older housing with 2-3 or 4 flexes, which would be much more compatible with neighborhood scale rather than trying to build multistory apartment complexes.

Given where we are with our shortage (20,000 and counting), we need to do both. Hard to find more cranes and crane operators, but I think we can a few thousand more units through this multiplexes. Thanks for reading!

Deny,

Looking under the hood is a great line! Too may trades are stuck doing $500,000.00 plus renos for one family. Four nurses in a new fourplex on the same site in next to a hospital is a no brainer? We have stop one off renos that take a year to do and start moving on multi housing units.
