Regarding the second, the LPC is the federal govt, who have unexpectedly added something like 1.5 million new people per year, all looking for housing, to our country over the last few years (as you are aware, I’m sure). While I don’t agree with Houston’s plan either, as I think it is too much too soon, at least he appears to have a plan, whereas the feds did not seem to see any further than opening the floodgates and seeing what happens.

No need to be so defensive all the time, brother. I'm just saying there's a cost to the status quo that's hurting a hell of a lot of folks.
Also, What's the PC plan for population growth in HRM? Build highways in rural areas? Study LRT on the Cape? AFAIK they don't have a plan at all for population growth in HRM. While it's probably too little too late, at least the Feds are doing something about housing (HAF) and transportation (new ferry terminal, funding for BRT plan) for the city. I guess the province is building the Burnside Connector and JRTA (which could fizzle out into nothing) but those probably would have been completed even if we weren't experiencing much growth.
