This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

Yes, but under 3 conditions 1) House the homeless 2) Without harming the environment and others 3) When we are financially able to do so
@B49S5T9Conservative3wks3W
Yes, we are in a housing crisis caused by shortages right now, the government should help subsidize the building of the homes with private companies, in return the companies should reduce the price of homes once they hit the market so young Canadians are able to afford.
@9HV5QFW1yr1Y
Yes, the housing sector should be nationalized. Zoning laws should be taken over by the federal government and single-family zoning must be abolished to preserve farmland and green space.

Only if it’s publicly regulated social housing with a mix of homes for purchase & rental; with cap on purchase price & who can buy based on income; as well as a significant of proportion of low-cost rental housing with caps on rent increases
