In 2017, The Canadian government announced that it would allocate C$40 billion (US$31.6 billion) to a national housing plan to alleviate the severe lack of affordable housing. This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

Invest in higher density middle housing in cities instead of detached single family homes in the suburbs.
@B2QQFP83 days3D
Large commie blocks and the forced relocation of new immigrant populations to interior Canada as to prevent large demographic concentrations.
@B2PMF3Y5 days5D
Yes, but we should also be helping regulate the purchase of these homes to prevent them being purchased as rental properties.
@B2J26RY2wks2W
It all depends on what types of homes at to be build - I would not be in favour of this if they were to be single family dwellings, but duplexes and smaller (non-luxury) apartments, yes 100%.
@B2HTNHR2wks2W
Yes, but only for young students(or people under the age of 25) that are struggling with finding a place to live
@B2HMZCY2wks2W
The amount of homes being built versus the jobs available at despicable rates is disgraceful. This question ties in to several others, and the focal point for the general population is that nothing about any current policies benefits them.
@B2CCM3P3wks3W
No, we should encourage private corporations by making it easier and less expensive to build homes rather then having to constantly spend tax-payer money.
