i actually don't want to come down on a side in this debate about fourplexes. it seems like a good idea to enforce fourplexes as a right until you stop to do the actual math and realize that it wouldn't even actually help.

we don't need fourplexes, we need massive skyscrapers. we need to be building up; way up.

if the government wants us to be as populated as megacities like london and new york, we're going to have to build like london and new york, and (with the single exception of the very downtown core of toronto), we just don't. we think it's not canadian to have that kind of urban density.

well, the population is growing very fast and nobody wants to live in permafrost, alberta. the state made the choice to overpopulate us. now, we have to start building skyscrapers, not fourplexes.
