Along Harbour Road in Vic West, pictured, developer Bosa will continue build-out of the Dockside Green community with additional towers.

Is the CoV adding 1300+ units/year now? If not, this goal is unreachable.

What if future federal governments reduce our current unsustainable immigration levels?

These 50,000 new residents might need additional schools, health care and probably even water. Who is making that happen?

Don't ask tough questions. The CoV just wants you to accept whatever they say at face.

Don't know but we are adding 5,000 people.

So colonization is back on then?

19^th and 20^th century colonization = bad 

21^st century colonization = good 

It's woke logic!

They'd better hurry up and buy all the parking lots, motels, and other underdeveloped sites (and then reserve them for use other than new housing, thus necessitating the transformation of the built form of the neighbourhoods).

I guess letting the free market build what they want and letting developer's make a profit is now considered woke

The government saying we need 34,000 housing units by 2050 is not free market.....  It's the opposite. 

The only part you got right was profit.
