Provincial government accomplishing more to create low-cost housing than BC Liberals did.
I think the provincial NDP is doing a great job trying to get a plan to provide low-cost housing.
Every little detail seems to be an issue of rejection by the BC Liberals. I remember them when they were the government of the day. They did not do one solid thing to address the problem in the 16 years they were in government. They at the time and, before them, the Social Credit, avoided doing anything. Social Credit is the very reason there is no low-cost housing in Metro Vancouver, and in all towns in cities in British Columbia. Social Credit sold all the Expo lands to a foreign buyer and started the problem we now are experiencing.
BC Liberals had an opportunity to correct this by getting low-cost housing built around SkyTrain stations, but instead sold them to developers to build high-end housing. Yes, there was an NDP government, and they did not manage to get it started either. But the BC NDP was not in government as long as the BC Liberals, and did not have the opportunity that BC Liberals had.

Provincial Government Takes Further Steps to Address Housing Supply - STOREYSWhen the Ontario government introduced Bill 97, the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, earlier this month, it continued to honour the pledge it had made as part of its Housing Supply Action Plan to have annual housing legislation aimed at addressing housing supply and affordability in the province. At the same time, the government announced a consultation on changes to the provincial policy statement (PPS), the document that governs land use planning in Ontario. Bill 97 and the PPS consultation are significant steps toward addressing the very complex problem of housing supply and affordability. As I often point out, the housing challenges in our province and region are the results of misguided policy decisions made by past governments and can only be addressed through policy that enables rather than hinders the building of new housing. The recently announced consultation proposes to combine the PPS and another policy document that governs how and where housing will be built — the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe — into a single document that prioritizes housing. If adopted, this change will represent a significant shift in planning policy that will simplify the addition of new housing. Bill 97 includes two measures that would facilitate the addition of housing supply. The first is a proposal to make it easier to convert land zoned for employment uses to residential uses, while protecting true employment spaces through a new, modern definition of employment. The other is a proposal to provide greater flexibility for municipalities to expand their boundaries to accommodate future growth. As housing supply and affordability are contingent on land supply, this change would help deliver much-needed housing. As its name implies, the legislation also includes new protections for tenants and new home buyers. The first proposal seeks to protect tenants against abuse and evictions — vital in a time of tight rental supply and rising rents — while recognizi
