Invest in higher density middle housing in cities instead of detached single family homes in the suburbs.

 @9YNQFHTNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, for the unhoused and low income. Repairs and maintenance should be done to existing properties when possible to avoid losing green space.

 @9T3VJQSNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

We need heavier regulation on developers and real estate. It doesn't matter how many houses you build if housing is not affordable. Building new housing is necessary but it's not the answer to the bigger issue.

 @9RC2QHKNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but the homes must be affordable, energy efficiant, high density, and accessible to public services.

 @9P8NRFMNew Democratic from Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

The priority should not be building new houses, but rebuilding and repairing existing houses, making the purchase of a house easier for citizens, leaving existing or building appropriate/enriching environments for wildlife.

 @9JM795ZNew Democratic from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, including housing the homeless, not at the expense of farmland and greenspace and ALSO within reasonable prices that allow younger people and single income families to be able to afford housing.

 @9FQLPCLNew Democraticfrom Newfoundland  answered…2yrs2Y

With checks and balances in place to ensure that companies and entities other than average homebuyers cannot buy or rent out these homes for exuberant prices.

The government should work to make existing house more accessible by reducing foreign ownership particularly of inner city real-estate, restrict AirBnB and assist first time home buyers.

 @93B79QTNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, there's too many people as there is, we will eventually run out of space for farming to support our already overcrowded world

 @8YYHV6VNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but ensure that they cannot be purchased by landlords or corporations

 @8YS5VBCNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as affordable housing those living under a certain tax bracket/homeless

Only if it's affordable housing for low-income families. Not overseas investors.

  @LeftAnglicanNew Democraticfrom Manitoba  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as these houses are affordable to the average Canadian income. Else it is wasted effort.

 @8XKG38JNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, to support the homeless, but not at the expense of our farmland and green space. There should also be an excess of planning and though put into the infrastructure.

 @8VT3XNGNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Update houses that have been abandoned or are to be torn down. Help veterans Houses are being built too close together, it’s getting crowed

 @8VSVXMJNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Only if it is going to be used for homeless or low-income families who are in need of private shelter

 @8VRZPJVNew Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if foreign and corporate ownership is prevented during those 4 years

 @8VQ6FVHNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

depends on the population , but building more houses means more jobs options and the list goes on

 @8VPYFGDNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

they should as long as it is low-income housing that is affordable for everyone.

 @8VPL8FFNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but they should also ensure that deforestation will not become more of a problem

 @8VP3B5BNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VNNMNFNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but withiit destroying ancient or old areas which include old growth trees all forests or old areas and neiborhoods

 @8VMB6WPNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, the housing market has to equalize instead of rising outside what most people can afford.

 @8VM85YMNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

I don’t think government should be in the business of building houses. I would prefer measures that would assist people to buy homes such as,
Assistance to purchase first home, grants, down payments etc ( means test)
Increase minimum wage
Guaranteed annual income
Cap on rents
Lower or no tax on income of low wage earners

 @8VLFK96New Democraticfrom Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

As long as the homes vary in value, yes. We don't need 1.4 million dollars spent on building houses that no new home buyers can purchase in our current economy. Look at building more income inclusive housing.

 @8VK3MMPNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VJZGW6New Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

I would agree as long as they are affordable homes so single parents or single parties can afford.

 @8VJK25RNew Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but for low-income families and with a priority on isolated communities who have inadequate housing

 @8VHWQ4HNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VHQJDKNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Affordable housing such as garden suites and couch houses and there should be no development fees for these homes as some municipalities charge these fees i.e. Brant County Tiny house communities

 @8VHMY6FNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they are affordable for low-income citizens OR they should lower costs of current homes that are empty

 @8VHM6V3New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but do it in a responsible way with less of a negative effect on the environment

 @9CDQ4SJNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only to house the homeless and not at the expense of farmland, green space or Indigenous property

 @9BK2KLWNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Repair and rebuild existing houses and properties, make more affordable housing for low-income and homeless people.

 @98WYN3XNew Democraticfrom Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

 @98WW25PNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as it avoids urban sprawl and promotes green, net-zero infrastructure

 @96RDSJSNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

I do not support the subsidization of private homes, but rather more midsized rental apartments.

 @95QFB32New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VQZJTXNew Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

Maintain the historical properties that exist, there are many empty homes. The problem is affordability.

 @8VNNPWHNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

They should be working on how to get clean water to indigenous communities

 @8VMVPB9New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VKXTJKNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes but only for those in poverty that can’t afford big homes or homes without proper assets, like clean water

 @8VK9L2RNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Unless it's necessary, but 1.4 million new homes being built in the next 4 years seem a bit much.
