This is the plan I’ve been advocating for for years
Except I wanted the CMHC to build like we did after WW2
This is the plan I’m most excited for
Yeah, the modular building incentives are interesting too. Anyone old enough from rural Canada remembers the proliferation of the Quonset after WW2 -- a prefabricated structure originally built to serve the military which suddenly popped up on literally every farm because the things were so cheap. But many of them are still standing today. With economies of scale, one can really build a lot with prefabricated structures very fast.
Of course, this means three story concrete apartments and trailer parks. And boomers (who benefited from their cheap entry level post war housing earlier in their lives) will complain about what it is doing to their property values.
On my suburban block a house burned down and a 3 story duplex was built and it looks great.
Plus two families on one lot with decent walkability to a grocery store and a small backyard, feels like a good approach.
the newly built housing units will be owned by Brookfield Asset Management
Where did you read that?
It’s called disinformation
They didn't. They're assuming that because Carney has had business success, that anything he does in government will be corruption to line his own pockets.
When someone has the credentials and success of running national banks, they generally are very good at compartmentalization and are better at it than the shitty slumlords like Marty Morantz.
I'm being slightly hyperbolic. But Carney was the president of Brookfield until January. Brookfield is a massive world wide investment firm who's portfolio includes massive real estate's investments. It's not difficult to put two and two together.
De passage à Toronto mardi, M. Singh a donné la parole à une dame nommée Erin Filby qui réside dans un immeuble récemment acheté par Brookfield.
Les nouveaux locataires du bâtiment, dit-elle, paient maintenant le double du prix pour leur loyer.
Mme Filby ne rejette pas la faute au visage de M. Carney, mais en veut à la spéculation immobilière et à Brookfield
