Interesting! I hope the BHA is able to deliver on the 2 projects that are underway. And that they can secure the funds necessary for an ongoing and aggressive expansion of purpose-built affordable housing in Burnaby 🤞🏽

    A lot of large cities have them... but there's no mandate. We need a mandate for every city over a threshold to have one.

    Would be nice if the federal government could start to provide funding for such projects on a large scale (like only a federal government can), without worrying about the political ramifications of homeowners upset about stagnant (or depreciating) property prices.
