Housing is a complex issue that requires action accross levels of government, but this would seem to shift the onus towards the municipal level, and then handicap said municipality’s ability to meet demand if they do not immediately succeed. [..] if implemented, would be anything but an excuse to cut funding.

Agreed. It just seems to be setting up obstacles rather than helping. Currently, builders prefer to build condos or office towers, rather than rental housing. I don't see these proposals as doing anything other than further frustrating the construction of rental housing.
