More millions and millions wasted by government.

The report should just say

Indeed it is funny that senior governments are just trying to will more housing on communities.

I’d say the above in my report.

Until all levels of government are willing to seriously deal with the current unsustainable levels of immigration, their housing policies are pure hypocrisy.*

*as well as their healthcare, environmental and public infrastructure policies

What I don't get is why it takes 2 years to land a skilled tradesperson in this country.  Apparently we are being overrun with immigration but we can't seem to import the ones who can swing a hammer.

[Victoria Watcher]

Almost nobody we import can swing a hammer. True.

... and the ones that can. we chase out of the province. It's really strange to me.

"I was surprised, I was shocked about it, I think it demonstrates the minister doesn’t really understand the work we’ve been doing at New Westminster and in the last decade to meet and exceed our housing targets,” Johnstone said.

The City of North Vancouver was also surprised it’s being given housing targets.

 

New West is the second most densely populated jurisdiction in BC, slightly more densely populated than the city of Victoria or the city of North Vancouver and slightly less densely populated than the city of Vancouver.

 

So naturally the government is pointing the finger at these areas for not being densely populated enough. Because it's only logical that the major burden should fall on physically small jurisdictions that are already very densely populated, duh.

It's not as if BC has a titanic amount of unpopulated land just sitting there, or a huge number of low-density cities, towns, and municipalities that could benefit from growth.
