I think to revert the trend of suburban sprawl, we need to look at the main points.

Most people end up living in Kanata/Orleans/Barrhaven because of two things;
1) Space
2) Costs

So why is it that most new developments in the greenbelt are mostly all studios and 1 bedroom condos? Why are we not developing more 2 and 3 bedroom condos and townhomes for couples and young families?

And why is it $300,000 for a 3-bedroom semi-detached in Orleans but $350,000-$400,000 for a 2 bedroom central condo? What can the city do to help reverse this? They need to evaluate ways of making inner-city development (and real estate) more affordable while making suburban new-builds more expensive. Then, the balance will tilt more in favor of inner-city and people will vote for it.
