Canadians want denser housing so long as that triplex isn’t next door, poll finds

A new poll shows the majority of Canadians support increasing high-density housing — just not in their backyards.

About 60 per cent of Canadians say they support increasing density in cities across the country, according to polling data published today by Pollara Strategic Insights, a market research group. However, when asked how they would feel if a single-family home on their block was converted into a triplex, only about 20 per cent said it would be a “good thing.”
