Canadian Politics Today

I think BC_Cheque is talking about the idea of high-rise towers that contain condos that have space comparable to a detached house. Perhaps three or four bedrooms... enough that a couple with the typical 2.3 kids wouldn't have to look for someplace with "more room" as their family grows.  It sounds like a good idea.   People do tend to think of a house with a yard when they picture a place to raise a family, but in some places that's becoming unviable.

Finally someone gets it after all this talk of over-inflated markets and construction costs.  I'm only talking about providing options in cities that are becoming increasingly dense.

Whatever the cost of real estate will be and whatever it costs to build a house, I imagine the pricing being somewhere between a condo and house, but a little less than a townhouse since townhouse still have height limitations.

Basically the price of a house in the suburbs, but for people who don't care that much for a lawn (or don't even want to deal with the upkeep of a house), and who don't want to commute very far to the city.
