What we need... is large scale tract housing. Either that or a revival of the Homesteading Act, but limited to North of the 58th parallel.

Nah. Towers. A cluster of mixed-use around a transit stop. Ensure the subway stop is poured with the foundation of the towers so it's far cheaper. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Roll up a swathe of bungalows ans use the space for 50x as many people, giving some extra back for the parkland.

And just don't stop. Go north and make actual towns out of the thawing hamlets up there. Spread out the pods a bit.
