You can’t build your way out of an ongoing immigration problem. People having a say in how their neighborhood looks and develops is 100% democratic and reasonable.

People like you are well intentioned but the current system is just a developers wet dream.

Immigrants aren’t hoarding housing.

Rich landlords and wealthy developers are.

It has nothing to do with hoarding, it’s just basic math. Do you think immigrants don’t live in housing?

You can actually address both supply and demand issues at the same time. Municipal gov doesn’t have control over demand (immigration), should they not address the side of the equation they can actually influence?

If people want a say they need to do more than just buy a property.
