But this would worsen the housing supply problem in Halton, wouldn't it Mr. Carr? Wouldn't that drive prices up even more? There are a few thoughts springing from that.
It's about curtailing sprawling growth not housing prices.
Ya thanks I read it too, but my point was that in an effort to address one problem, he may create or worsen another. You are right: even with this "mechanism" to attempt this, there is no way he would dare, we're too far along here for anyone to "suddenly" try to steer this thing. I remember "we must control the growth" coming out of a lot of people's mouths over the last 10-12 years, but I don't remember hearing out of Carr before. This is probably an attempt at optics management, maybe he's in his Legacy Grooming phase just like Gord?
Here's Carr recently, November 2015:
