Well that’s a first. I’ve never been called out by another speaker at a public hearing before. Apparently speaking from prepared notes and using data to support the need for safe, affordable, secure non-market housing is inauthentic 🙄

After spending time at a public hearing, it's easy to walk away with the conclusion that people don't want more affordable housing in their community. Our polling suggests that nothing could be further from the truth. In Vancouver and everywhere else in BC.👇

In BC, almost 100,000 homes renting below $1,000/month were lost between 2016 and 2021. There are very few homes being built to replace them. Not even the non-profit sector can build new housing in these rent ranges without significant government investment.
