Housing affordability has become the single biggest issue facing Canada. It’s a complicated situation with no silver bullet solution. For the last 6 months myself and 18 other homebuilders have been working on a way to tackle it and it’s finally public. Let’s got into it. 🧵

Today, I updated the BC Building Code to allow for Single Egress Stair (SES) designs in low- and mid-rise buildings.   By allowing SES, we will boost our housing supply and create more options for families who need larger layouts and designs. 👉🏾 news.gov.bc.ca/31592 🧵[1/4]
