We have housing crisis and need all communities to deliver needed new housing.

The decriminalization movement (if you can call it that) failed to influence and control the political economy on decriminalization in British Columbia. Governments operate in a political economy, and the shift in approach by Premier David Eby is probably a reflection of that.
Try getting a lane house permit in @New_Westminster - its an absurdly long process that requires a 6mo dev permit in addition to a building permit. I appreciate some of the things being done in new west, but there is some serious obstruction baked in that also needs to go

Building expensive new housing makes existing older housing more affordable by forcing landlords to compete for tenants.
interesting price history on this dinky 1968 one-bedroom in central austin, which hit a high of $1,200 in 2023 but is now renting for $999 — adjusted for inflation, that’s not only less than it was going for in 2018, but actually beats the rent in 1972! zillow.com/homedetails/23…

This week, we officially recognize the Haida Nation’s Aboriginal title rights in the laws of this province, marking a historic first in Canada. (1/3)
Super disappointing to see the Mayor make this statement. Absolutely unserious about what it's going to take to fix the housing crisis. No wonder staff are late with zoning reforms and what they do produce isn't worth the ink the be frank. Absolutely failure here.
Amazing housing plan here from Olivia Chow. What we're looking at is a continuation of Tory's housing plan, nothing more. Much more tepid than anything Edmonton is doing. theglobeandmail.com/business/rob-m…

The Eby NDP is undermining YOUR private property rights. The Haida deal means First Nations title could end up being applied to ALL private property in BC… This is a mess. #bcpoli

This capital gains change piece by @trevortombe is really good. I’m slightly less bullish on the change (I do worry a bit what it’s going to mean for housing construction finance), but this is a really good primer to the economics of it. thehub.ca/2024-04-17/tre…
The capital gains increase will impact 0.13% of the population. There are a lot of ways to define middle-class. None of them apply to this group.
Middle-class Canadians could be hit by increases to capital gains tax. Here’s how to prepare theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…
One of the more frequent claims today is that very rich people will leave Canada because of the increased cap gains tax, and I’d like to know when conservatives embraced the Marxist notion that the rich have no patriotism or loyalty except to finance capital.
Lol not really good at math are you @WillWJGreaves ? Maybe you should start with the question of “Who pays 60+ percent of the taxes in Canada?” Probably don’t want to alienate those people. Especially since they have the ability to leave and take their money with them.
If you are realizing more than $250K in capital gains in any single year, and you're not selling your primary residence (exempt) or your business ($1.25M at 0%) you are in no way middle class.

New post TL;DR: @LausterNa and I estimate that planning decisions preventing recent apartment buildings in YVR from being 20% taller are resulting in an annual redistribution of half a billion dollars from renters to existing landlords via higher rents. doodles.mountainmath.ca/blog/2024/04/1…
