In this edition of Journal, we are going to jump into the fray and take a close look at the blizzard of housing announcements – 62 at last count, coming from all levels of government in this past year. Many of them promise affordable housing.
Finally, our politicians have noticed the angst in our community about the cost of housing, rising mortgage rates, the lack of housing options – but at the same time, the fear of density.
The important question is, besides all of the photo-ops, will these initiatives make a difference? Will Vancouver ever be affordable, or is that just a pipedream?
Join Carole Taylor and Bob Rennie in a discussion about Vancouver’s housing conundrum.
