Anyone with a bit of savings and who truly wants a SFH can easily get one. In Cartier, Ontario for example (RIP, swimmer_spe!)

It's not impossible at all. Houston is a great example. Build wherever and however you want and the governmetn builds the highways infrastrcuture and 8 million people can mostly live in mostly affordable SFHs.
