Great @fidelitycanada webcast yesterday with @SMichaelBrooks of @REALPAC_News and @ritchiepamela, discussing solutions to Canada’s housing crunch to bring affordability closer to home. #FidelityConnects

A great thread from Alex. A finite construction labor pool, continuing slow approvals processes, and high development taxes and fees will continue to be barriers, for social and market housing.

Truth.
A great US (and global?) market synopsis from Nils Kok. "Banking crisis? Sky-high interest rates? Lessons for the commercial real estate sector." maastrichtrealestate.com/blog/banking-c…
Stats Canada just announced that Canada’s population grew by over one million people in 2022, a record high and the most amongst advanced economies… There remains no housing plan in place.
I'm told that the fundamental cause of our housing crisis is the restrictive zoning policies (and NIMBYs) that are suddenly constraining the supply of new housing But I'm not convinced, what do you think?
The problem properly sorted: "Hamilton bleeding affordable housing faster than it can build it" thespec.com/news/hamilton-… via @TheSpec
This could help. "Aubry and Nelson: A targeted rent subsidy would help prevent and end homelessness in Canada" ottawacitizen.com/opinion/aubry-…
Still was called names on Twitter after that episode. The basic principle seems obvious to me. Thanks for the support! @RE_MarketWatch
Love it.
A pleasure to lead that excellent panel of industry leaders - Anne Morash of GWLRA, Brett Miller of Canderel, and Scott Hutcheson of Aspen Properties - and discuss some of the 2022 REALPAC Prospective Survey results with them. Thx also @REALPAC_News

I can’t confirm that this is the boldest housing plan in Canadian history, but this is easily the boldest in my lifetime, and I’m pretty old. More work to do, but this is absolutely transformative stuff.
The Liberals have unveiled their plan to solve the housing crisis, building on recent announcements with new tax incentives, more than a billion dollars for homelessness and a country-wide effort to build more housing on public lands #cdnpoli #ParlCA ipolitics.ca/news/liberals-…
Today's announcement can be read in full at: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-r…
The National Housing Accord recommended the development of such a program, as well as other incentives to enable a full spectrum of rental supply, affordable housing and homelessness supports.
REALPAC commends today's federal government announcement on the acquisition of rental properties by non-profits and other partnerships through the new $1.5 billion Canada Rental Protection Fund, which will be key in supporting affordability and balance in the rental market.
The full announcement can be read at: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-r…
REALPAC is pleased to see another announcement from the federal government, drawing on recommendations from the National Housing Accord. These programs for innovative construction, design and modernization will help increase productivity and build supply as quickly as possible.
REALPAC CEO @SMichaelBrooks and R-LABS CEO George Carras recently sat down with @mattgallowaycbc to explore innovative solutions to Canada's housing crisis, and to rethink what and how we are building. Listen to the full interview at: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
Bill 185 will support intensification, enable standardized building designs, update the Building Code, enhance reporting on housing supply data, and reduce red tape to get more housing built. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with the province to enable more housing supply
REALPAC commends the steps taken today by the provincial government, advancing a number of initiatives recommended in the National Housing Accord.
The National Housing Accord authors welcome today's release of the federal government’s new housing plan - Solving the Housing Crisis: Canada’s Housing Plan. This plan is the most comprehensive and ambitious housing strategy by a federal government in over 40 years.
We commend the government’s bold vision reflected in this housing plan to make housing affordable for everyone. Read more: realpac.ca/news/housingpl…

@TheTorontoSun In the middle of a housing crisis, let’s make it even less appealing for owners to rent their property. 🤦🏼♀️
@TheTorontoSun Adding more rules and regulations for landlords isn’t a great idea if you want to increase the supply of rental units.
This is great but why don’t they just remove DCLs and amenity charge exemptions for all new social housing 🤨 Every dollar not charged would go toward deepening affordability for the nonmarket units…
BC government will make amendments to the Vancouver Charter to provide First Nations with development cost levy & amenity charge exemptions for new social housing.. This will benefit their Heather Lands and Jericho Lands projects. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/firs…
