Generally developers are not popular.  The OMB has allowed them to run rough-shod over neighborhoods and municipalities for years as they built high-rises and paved over the best farmland in the country.

On the other-hand the goverment has promoted an ever-increasing population through mass immigration and these people all need somewhere to live, work, study, and shop.  This has fueled the demand is the root-cause of the need for exponential development growth.

Promoting the exponential growth in immigration and the the population on one hand and restricting development on the other will  only lead to more housing inflation.  

So which will it be now?  Growth or no growth?
