David Clinton’s data-focused and insightful articles tackle Canada’s housing and infrastructure challenges with integrity and depth, offering a balanced critique on complex issues. He examines federal housing incentives like the ACLP, exploring whether they effectively meet affordability goals or risk inefficiencies. Clinton’s analysis of high-rise developments surprisingly debunks assumptions about their impact on fertility rates, showing that urban density may not deter family formation.
He investigates the correlation between immigration and housing costs, demonstrating how structural factors and delayed market adaptations play significant roles. Clinton’s reflection on infrastructure projects contrasts past successes, like the Empire State Building, with modern inefficiencies, underscoring regulatory and logistical barriers.
Drawing global comparisons, he evaluates innovative housing strategies such as Vienna’s public housing model and land value taxation, while questioning their adaptability to Canada. Clinton also sheds light on the human cost of suppressed household formation, driven by immigration pressures and housing shortages, emphasizing the profound social consequences. Finally, he highlights the significant role of taxes and fees in home prices, suggesting targeted reductions to alleviate affordability issues.
Clinton’s meticulous data analysis and commitment to practical solutions make his work a vital contribution to understanding and addressing Canada’s housing crisis.
