  Canada's Housing Goes Prefab

  Thanks for bringing attention to this initiative...and let me start by saying you are right...there's often nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.  And yes, other more long term solutions must also be implemented.  But this is one way to deliver affordable housing, by utilizing 'free' land.  I would add that the modular housing demonstration projects could deliver about 190 of the 550 'short term' units proposed by the Mayor.
