First of all, there is no “affordable housing,” if you have 2 pennies to your name, there never will be.
They call it “below market” housing, the market where I am in East Van is an Average of 3000/mo and that’s the cheap part of Vancouver.
So the rent below market can be anything between 1-3000 in East Van, even higher in other areas.
There are market housing in the West End going over 5000/mo.
There is no justification for the over paid Mayor and Council with their expensive “above market” furniture tastes being bought for their comfort.
As for Climate, you can’t tax the Climate into changing to whatever they want it to be, which is highly unclear. Maybe they are upset with it changing at all, which will make intruding on cause and effect impossible through force and financial abuse of citizens. Change is perpetual.
The City that often can’t get a trash bin picked up on the right day can’t be trusted to supply housing to the worlds poor, and lets face it, we keep saying “we’ll make housing, “ rather than “no vacancies find somewhere else,” more people will keep coming for “free” or “cheap” housing at the expense of hard working people.
Being an entertainer, I am no hard working, so clearly I have no bias in saying that.
