Inclusionary zoning is such a dumb idea.

I've said this before, and I will say this again, if governments think that they know what it takes to give roofs over people's heads, then they should participate in the private markets, rather than try to game it from an ivory tower.

Housing subsidies are just a promise, and we can't keep banking on that.

Reddit is roasting Poilievre, but I agree with Poilievre, here: we need to get an ethics committee to investigate this.

Carney and Eby keep saying that their housing plan that they announced on June 18th isn't a bailout, but every word that comes out of their mouth continues to make it sound like a bailout.

Loud racism narrowly defeats quiet racism in B.C. Conservative leadership race #BCPolitics

I just saw this site that lists out all MLAs that are landlords.

Unpopular opinion:

I actually want politicians to be landlords or aspire to be landlords.

Then they'd realize: rent control doesn't work, and NIMBYs are obnoxious.

Put an artificial cap on rent, and you get a natural cap in housing creation.

Lift rent control, and watch the supply grow.
