To what extent does increasing the supply of housing overall (especially at the high end) increase the supply of affordable housing? Does making new condos provide any easing of housing costs elsewhere?
Even if the answer to any of that is yes I'd love to see more explicitly affordable housing projects, so the question is not leading to anything, I'm just pretty ignorant on the matter. I found an opinion piece published on the Fraser Institute that suggests it does (https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/...ase-supply) but I am skeptical of the Fraser Institute (our politics are not in alignment, typically) and there isn't really anything resembling sources in that particular article.
