I feel like the article doesn't address my point very well, though. It uses relative terms like 'more' and 'grown' to suggest the federal government is taking on a greater role, but it's measuring from a time where it was doing the least. If the federal government wanted to involve itself in housing it could re-implement the policy is had from the 40's through the 80's and directly fund the building of social housing.

Unfortunately since the pervasiveness of neoliberal thought from the Mulroney/Thatcher/Reagan era on the federal government only likes to act through gaming the system with tax incentives rather than directly making and executing a plan. Every new development has to be created through the filter of making a private entity a profit and we're all suffering from the end results of that philosophy now.
