We all want to live in beautiful, vibrant, healthy communities. Today, I released a catalog of set house designs - available for free - that allow people to build attainable housing in a more efficient and cost effective way than ever before. 👉🏾 news.gov.bc.ca/31613 🧵[1/3]

They include digital designs that suit what people need: ✅ Duplex, ✅ Triplex, ✅ Quadplex, and ✅ Townhouses. Most of the designs are based on “building blocks” that can be mixed and matched, to add features like a garage or bedrooms. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/far… 🧵[2/3]

We know John Rustad doesn't believe in Climate Change but it also appears he doesn't believe in Supply and Demand either. His plan to scrap David Eby’s housing action plan will cancel 300,000 middle-class homes that are on the way and hand the keys back to speculators. 🧵[3/3]

The modular approach here is quite cool! Next step, standard modular designs for 4-6 floor single stair buildings on common single family lots? Catalog: www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/far…

Honestly, do they even sleep?

This is so cool!! Way to go Ravi!! #bcpoli

Nice work by Leckie Studio and team on a concise design budget and timeline. I'm still not sure exactly how these land in each different city, but its a good resource for local owners and planning teams who are looking to move beyond single family.

Wishing all students and educators a great start to the 2024/2025 school year!

Good move. Making housing delivery easier. #housing

How I treat wonderful humans that were former BC Liberal voters. I welcome them with a hug and a shoulder to cry on. You have a home with the BC NDP. Thanks for the great chat today, and for agreeing to do this post with me. I 🧡 working with Cal on Nelson's Council. #bcpoli

Emerson is a single egress stairway fan! He wanted to thank you Ravi Kahlon! #bcpoli #housing #homesforpeople

Often, it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Single egress stairways slashes building costs, potentially making homes more affordable for generations to come. This is how smart BC NDP policy quietly reshapes our future. #bcpoli #HomesForAll #WorkingforYou

Standardized designs arrive to help build more homes faster | BC Gov News news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024H…

More tinkering with a 33' lot 6 plex, single stair. We can get the units all stacked with the same plans. Could be built for a fairly modest budget, w limited excavation. This version has 2 accessible units, but a residential elevator could be added for about 50k.

More #BCBuilds middle-income rental homes are coming to Penticton and Sun Peaks! 👍🏾 We’re partnering with the local govts so folks like teachers, nurses, and construction workers– can find homes they can afford in the communities they love.   👉🏾 bcbuildshomes.ca/developers 🧵 [1/3]

These projects are now available for non-profits and homebuilders to submit proposals to build and operate. ✅ All #BCBuilds units have a target of households with middle-incomes - where they spend no more than approximately 30% of their income on rent. 🙌🏾 🧵 [2/3]

In addition, a minimum of 20% of all #BCBuilds homes with grant funds have rents at least 20% below market rate. 🏡 While John Rustad’s conservatives threaten to rip up David Eby’s housing plan- we’re taking action to deliver the homes middle-class people need, faster. 🧵 [3/3]

Sorry, not a paid activist! My opinions may not suit your partisan goals but they're real and valid.

The UCP’s petty politically motivated plays are hurting Alberta’s international reputation, ability to attract investment, and economic stability. Rather than serving people - they only seek to serve themselves. #ableg

The Green Line is critical infrastructure that Calgary needs and that the province committed to - now the jobs, local economic boosts and related projects vanish at UCP's whim. This isn't how we grow a prosperous and competitive province. #GreenLine #yyc
