#BCRe #Strata is NOT affordable housing.
Per sqft, its way more to carry & maintain a strata than a house

Long as underfunded complexes are common, or inflation runs hot, owners crushed by special assessments, unaffordable strata fees and insurance will make cont to make increasing news headlines

Les Leyne: B.C. sidelines housing projects while pushing cities to keep up pace If the province can delay its own housing plans, why is it still holding municipalities to targets designed for a market that no longer exists?

"For decades, Canada has underinvested in public, non-profit and co-op housing."

I think it would be helpful to state why that was, and why governments aren't interested in fully meeting the current need. Even Hong Kong has more public housing that us!

#BuildCanadaHomes will fund approx 26k affordable units in Canada between now and 2029-30 www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

Separately, running over #metrovan municipal jurisdictions & the public on planning & blanket upzoning is undemocratic & poor policy #vanre #bcre #housingcrisis #bcpoli

Should read: “Meanwhile, chronic upzoning to fuel speculation, high developer profits, flipping, moneylaundering, airbnbs, downloaded taxes and costs to taxpayers, drove up the cost of housing, while many units remained empty .” #vanre #bcre #ItsSpeculationStupid

Big move from the Province:
✔️ 25% of fees at building permit
✔️ 75% deferred until occupancy or 4 yrs
✔️ Surety bonds accepted

This is a smart step that reflects what industry has been asking for.

@udibc
is at the table and will keep pushing for practical solutions.

Vancouver swamped by unsold condos as supply outpaces demand Ryan Berlin, head economist and vice-president of Rennie Intelligence, said 2025 will close with the ‘highest level of unsold condo inventory’ that the Vancouver region has seen in many years

Vancouver’s condo market is flooded with unsold units as supply outpaces demand.

UBC urban design professor Patrick Condon says on @globeandmail.com that he sees lower property values as an opportunity to generate affordable housing through more regulation: tgam.ca/42s8tma

Foreign manipulation was the driving force behind the absurd #BCRE boom to begin with. So many unoccupied homes all around Metro #Vancouver, this trend of money parking HAS to stop!

Focus is all wrong. Sr. Govts need to prioritize & fund significant social housing, #4Pillars addiction and mental health services + #raisetherates. Munis must stop gifting/grifting w/ luxury developers to demovict people from existing affordable hsg #vanre #bcre #densitydonewrong #vanpoli #bcpoli

Also, buyer & sellers avoided the PTT by Holdco share purchase but Cdn Govt allows - major loophole & less taxes paid than ordinary owner-occupants who just want a home to live in full time #bcre #ItsSpeculationStupid #WhistlerBC #shellcos #foreignbuyers #vacancytax #cdnpoli

BCNDP/ EBY literally paid and partnered w/ RE Cartel astroturfers to further centralize controls, deregulate, and de-democratize planning and zoning #vanre #bcre #LiarLiar #ItsSpeculationStupid #bcpoli
