He's correct. I would also add that the people with the money are the ones who have the power to make rules about taxation, income redistribution, minimum wage, social assistance rates, and budgets for new social housing construction...

the cause of the housing crisis is not 'affordability', the cause is an imbalance of power

the housing crisis will not end with affordability tweaks, but only with a rebalancing of power

Mad respect for Carolina for balancing messages about 'what works' with messages about 'what doesn't work.'

We need more people in positions of power speaking up like this. Thank you, Carolina.

Millions (or billions?) go into revolving door strategies of sweeping encampments and putting people into substandard housing that is then not appropriately funded. There is barely anything left for what delivers real long lasting dignified outcomes.

FELLOW CANADIANS:

THERE'S NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO RESTART THE NATIONAL SOCIAL SUBSIDIZED HOUSING PROGRAM.

50,000 UNITS EVERY YEAR.
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND.

Folks -- $300B would eradicate poverty, fix healthcare and education, give lots of money to LandBack initiatives and leave enough money for Canadians to start their dream businesses.

A step in the long journey toward justice.

New premier! New housing minister! New promises!

This is the most important year to go to the #HousingCentral Conference.

1/3 new homes for those who pay the lowest rents
1/3 priced for those making minimum wage
1/3 for those who can pay market rents

👏Great to see the *revised bonus density policy working!

✅This project will contribute $1.5m to the housing reserve fund.

👎Previous projects of this size were contributing $100 - $200k.

*It was revised in 2019 after much kerfuffle.

No one should be evicted from supportive housing, during a housing crisis. But yet it’s happening in #yyj
Where is the “supports”?? What’s the “program”? The pathway to Housing should move people forward. Not leave them behind. 💔⛺️ #housingisahumanright

How long will Tom be able to retain his leadership position with this level of ignorance?

Is there a word for governments that are unable to solve public/societal problems?

Eviction ban when the vacancy rate is less than 4%.

A new study shows owners of luxury homes pay very little tax.

Are luxury homes needed to create healthy communities that respect ecological boundaries?

No.

Tax them out of existence.

35% of homeless in #YYJ are Indigenous. Most first experienced homelessness as youth, lived foster care, & have personal or family experience with the residential school system.
