Seems, anecdotally at least, that people who get priced out end up moving to places like Brantford, or St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. Or staying local, there are neighbourhoods on the mountain that seem to be relatively more affordable.

I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting, but rather than creating more policies, what the government should do - at all levels - is determine which of its many existing residential policies, by-laws, zoning ordinances, etc., are making things worse for low and middle income earners. The good news is that they already know which ones are screwing its citizens. The bad news is they don't care because they benefit directly from them.
