The average asking rent in Canada reached another record high of $2,078 in July. Rents increased 8.9% annually, the fastest pace of growth of the past three months. The 1.8% increase in average asking rents over June represented the fastest month-over-month growth of the past eight months.
We need to build crappy public housing. Crappy, so homeowners don't get mad at us "decreasing their property values."
Just copy-paste commie blocks out in Mission and run frequent train service into the city. Out of sight, out of mind, but effective at sustaining massive housing supply (on the order of tens of thousands of people) with minimal cost due to prefabrication. Concrete is cheap, so use it.
We should decrease their property values though. That's half the problem
