It's indicative of a trend of bad messaging and generally not addressing the needs of the public, and is part of why the party is trailing in polls and could very well be defeated in 2025, imo And I don't consider the prime minister saying "Not my problem, good luck though" to be bait, I consider it to be the prime minister explicitly saying his administration doesn't give a gently caress

That's why we created a housing ministry cabinet position for a problem we have no control over. To pretend we are doing something, hopefully enough for you rubes to re-elect us. LPC is on the path to blow their own foot off, and let the CPC win. But CPC will also somehow snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so any party could win.

well we certainly collectively forgot about their promises from 2015:quote:- Prioritize significant new investments in affordable housing and seniors’ facilities, as part of the Liberals’ historic ten-year investment of nearly $20 billion in social infrastructure https://liberal.ca/trudeau-promises-affordable-housing-for-canadians/ have they done literally any of this? I'm not asking rhetorically - have they? in particular, have they financed any rental housing?

Femtosecond posted:So far I'm fairly unconvinced that the BC NDP's social housing agenda is anything more remarkable than the bare minimum required to do occasional ribbon cuttings to fundraise off of. Nothing anywhere near enough to make up for the fact that the affordability of low cost private housing is eroding away due to vacancy being ~0%. So far we continue to have a clear net loss of affordable housing despite whatever it is the government is doing. yeah seriously. is anyone doing anything like what they had to do in this graph? vyelkin posted:the problem is nothing we do right now can be an overnight fix for the fact that we spent the last 30 years not doing anything if not, then it’s all just bullshit.

Chamale posted:The minor crimes unit is busy investigating the murder of Indigenous women Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get crazy here! The minor crimes unit is strategically positioned at Superstores! The murders can be investigated by the Cadets. Let them get in some experience telling the women's families that they aren't deserving of basic human dignity. Yes I fully believe that at the very least an effort should be made to search the landfill for the remains of the women so they can at least be given a proper burial. drat the cost, take it out of the police budget.

Legislation dealing with real property is, according to our constitution, a provincial power and not a federal power. I'm hardly a Trudeau fan but he's technically right in saying that it's not the fed's responsibility to fix the housing crisis, so

Cold on a Cob posted:well we certainly collectively forgot about their promises from 2015: From reading the exasperated tweets of non-profit housing providers, my takeaway is that all this money has strings attached such that it's extremely burdensome to access the money. I've seen the complaint that money is only available if you have a building permit, which 1) puts huge amount of risk and expense onto the builder as they have to spend money and time (years even!) navigating the municipal rezoning process and 2) puts all the power into the hands of municipalities which can continue to delay and oppose the development of new housing as they see fit. For this reason there was a push in Vancouver by OneCity's Councillor Boyle to push for prezoning big areas of vancouver for higher heights for non-profit and social housing and making it so that non-profits could bypass the usual processes and go through an accelerated path. That would have addressed many of these concerns and helped non-profits get money from the feds faster. In 2021 it was voted down, but in 2022 a vote on it succeeded but it remains under study by city staff, so who knows how long until we get there if ever. So ultimately the "hands off" approach of the Feds of saying "well money is available" *shrug* has not been terribly effective because the Feds have not leveraged their power and leadership to create the conditions by which people can actually use Fed funds.

DaysBefore posted:The only level of government that really wants to do public housing is municipal and all our cities are broke lol Even this is a mirage and distraction IMO. it's an exercise whereby the city can get a bunch of money from the feds and then do a big fancy ribbon cutting ceremony but ultimately it's just one or two buildings and will have no real impact on anything. The core problem is that this all relies on the city having lots of free land and despite the rhetoric from councillors, there actually really isn't that much (at least not in Vancouver) and the notion that the cities have oodles of land is a sham. Like you can go on the city arcgis map app and turn on city owned land layer and see that it's just a few developable parcels. Most of which are in old industrial areas where it will cost millions just to remediate the site.

tuyop posted:yeah seriously. is anyone doing anything like what they had to do in this graph? The closest thing to this is the BC NDP have announced a big fund to buy up old apartment buildings before REITs and investors can buy them up and evict everyone. Now that is a very good idea and well worth doing, but it's fundamentally not creating any new housing so really not at all comparable to the sort of mass creation of below market housing that governments were doing in the 1960s and 70s.

the last 30 years has been federal government pulling back and cutting taxes and saying, "well you see the provinces should simply raise taxes to pay for these services they are constitutionally obligated to provide" and then the Premiers being like, "raising taxes? That's political suicide" and enacting austerity instead.

Prior to the current rent hikes and mass homelessness there were more empty units in Toronto than homeless in all of North America. So why do we need to build more other than handing developers giant bags of cash?

What are they going to do now that they don't have parts of the state to sell off? They sold Petro Canada for less than it made in revenue that year iirc.
