From 2024 -"To end #homelessness we must reclaim our #housing infrastructure from the investor class, produce homes as if they were essential goods rather than investment vehicles, and ensure that all #Canadians have the resources necessary to lead dignified, comfortable lives." But #Canada's banker PM is all about the investor class not #humanrights. canadiandimension.com/articles

canadiandimension.comWhy Housing First failed in CanadaTo end homelessness we must reclaim housing from the investor class, produce homes as if they were essential goods rather than investment vehicles, and ensure that all Canadians have the resources necessary to lead dignified, comfortable lives.

The applicant for the 24 homes on Barracks requested a deferral. We instead had a long presentation and Q and A about the last year and a half of #cville planning work and the next year plus. We had a lot to talk about! Most striking and alarming to me was that we got our first update on new #housing numbers from our new #zoning. Very low!
