I agree. Not even kidding, we'll probably need 100000 new units of housing in the CMA in the next decade. Makes me nervous even thinking about that. To take some of the pressure off the capital I really think intercity transport of some kind needs to be investigated. Maybe transit to Oakbank isnt needed yet, but if Oakbank grows at the rate it continues to grow at, it just may be viable. Copy paste any other metro large town/small city.
