Single detached houses represent over half of Canada's housing stock. We have plenty of them, mostly underutilized.
The vast number of single detached with just one person is a resource distribution issue, which Canada has failed at by turning housing into inflated financial assets.
Young families have had to consider cost of each additional child for decades as housing costs spiraled up and wages remained flat. Family of 6+ is definitely a choice.

For ne, the question is how many externalities am I willing to impose on future generations. What share of the worlds CO2 emissions am I willing to be personally responsible for due to my decisions?
What proportion of the planets non-renewable resources am I willing to consume? How many earths would it take to maintain my lifestyle, and who pays the consequences - my grandkids in 50 years, or the global south?
