I hear you decrying suburban sprawl, but then you want to sprawl into new areas; areas we need for our rapidly dwindling agricultural and green space. Canada seems to be the only forest nation not criticized for razing its forest for bungalow space.
How about we densify what we have and reel back some of this obscene sprawl with its hoarded greenspace that can be better used growing things or for simple oxygen exchange?
And aside from needing farmland, you need it nearby
By creating more hubs you have more space for farmland, forests, and wetlands
You aren’t going to be able to sprawl back, that’s why you create the densified hubs then move people there. Once the suburbs are empty you will see receding
As a European the suburbs in Canada shock me. My wife and some family are from/in Gatineau and it’s just an endless wasteland of single family homes with a Costco in the middle, crazy stuff.

Cities are different than suburbs
