Aside from the obvious difference between housing being a far bigger and more difficult problem than bike lane is, it is also important to keep in mind that it is a far easier task to get re-elected as mayor than it is to not get fired as the federal housing minister. Cabinet shuffle is pretty much a given for any federal gov at some point, esp after a re-election (assuming the Liberals can get re-elected at the next federal election, which is in itself a tall order).

Moonbeam didn't build out the bike lane infrastructure in 1 term. I dunno how successful his grand vision for housing will be, but realistically speaking, I don't think he will be given enough time to remain the housing minister to hammer out even just the full medium term version of his housing strategy before he leaves the post for one reason or another.
