The needless debate over infill vs. outfill housing development (opens original article in a new tab)

The article argues that Canada should not choose between infill and outfill housing, as both are necessary to address different population needs, with infill near transit stations suitable for younger renters and outfill in suburbs for families.

• Canada needs both infill and outfill housing developments to meet diverse demographic needs.
• Infill near transit stations attracts younger, smaller households, while suburbs cater to families with more space and lower costs.
• Analysis shows 4.4 million more dwellings could be built near transit, but family-oriented housing remains critical in suburban areas.
