À propos de cet audio
Can provincial housing targets be a smarter way to plan future housing across the province?
In this no-guest episode of Non-Partisan Hacks, Joel and Sean unpack a new Parksville resolution headed to the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) that seeks to uplevel how the Province sets housing targets for local governments. It’s a call for smarter, more climate-resilient, infrastructure-ready planning for BC's future.
In this show's quote take, we confront the awkward truth: local governments are trying to make housing more affordable… using the limited tools they have: taxing homes.
We also touch on:
- Factors besides population growth predictions that need to be part of the housing equation
- Insurance industry may have some insight into planning
- and Sean's take on Sean's take
