FWIW Calgary, AB is an example of tons of building doing a good job to manage housing cost increases. Something like tripled the population ~300k -> > 1M over 1990-2010s and house prices remained reasonable in the suburbs (which are still Calgary proper). One thing Calgary did well was "Infills" which basically was when someone would split their single family home into 2 properties, which may or may not share a wall. Sometimes they'd buy neighboring properties and do N parcels to N+1 (or >N) new homes. eg 2 neighboring parcels became 3 homes. Smoothly incrementing the density.
