    There are zoning issues but the infrastructure is done by the government or in this case not done

    In Northern Ontario the infrastructure is struggling as is because the current premier took the money from the maintenance budget and put it into Toronto ahead of the last election to try to get more votes

    Ontario went to municipalities around Toronto and told them they need to add x number of houses but never touched the north

      If an elected something can spend money to get elected again by pleasing most people for that expenditure, they’ll spend on most densely populated areas, as density improves efficiency.

      This is where electoral college (or other non-linear representation) stops looking bad.
