Urgently awaiting new 2030, 2035 and net zero targets from #Azerbaijan, the host of #COP29. Because the current targets and actions are critically insufficient.

@abogical @chris agreed, it creates cost inflation.
A better model is if the balance of the value is held in trust by a non-profit. Someone can live their, have a share, even grow their equity; but when they sell, the non-profit is incented to keep costs down and sell again at the same low price.
BC has a history of subsidized housing ending up going to those without need or profiting from the subsidy.
Thank you for the follow @Shareshot
You're making me feel extra special by following me!
The NDP have been accused of ‘buying furniture,’ meaning building fancy new clinics and whatnot while utterly failing to address the shortage of doctors, nurses, etc. What use are these buildings without healthcare to staff them?
@Greengordon in fairness, I think they've opened two or three nurse and doctor colleges in the province in the past few years including at SFU, and many smaller colleges.

@chris
This just subsidizes demand and makes houses even more unaffordable.
Your toot inspired me to check into #Canadian Housing Affordability Index.
Turns out it is a useless - and misleading - metric unless you live in one of the 10 metro regions covered. The Statscan NHPI is equally useless - it is the MSRP based on the build specification and land location, but builders never build the actual specification. Still a useful index for studying pricing, but **actual sale prices is what is required for an affordability index**.
Cannot answer question.
