It was a pleasure presenting a key to building more homes to @carolejames this morning as we discussed collaborative actions towards improving housing affordability across B.C. Our members bring an important perspective to policy discussions: we build homes every day. #bcpoli

"New study shows NIMBYism is the biggest multifamily construction barrier" The study also points to rising construction costs and complex approval systems as major barriers to #affordablehousing. #yyjre #yyjhousing housingwire.com/articles/490…

Cost has just been downloaded to business owners who will have to pass this along. We have had to raise all our billout rates to cover an additional $48k in payroll costs.
It's the biggest middle-class tax cut in a generation. bc.ctvnews.ca/no-msp-premium…

Falling housing starts are a bad omen for B.C. Less supply of new homes will drive prices up. And fewer construction projects mean fewer jobs. The NDP has yet to learn that you can’t tax your way to prosperity - or affordability. #bcpoli theprovince.com/news/local-n…

B.C. backlash builds over homeowners treated as speculators "its absolutely dishonourable for Carole James to tell the public it only affects one per cent, but now 100 per cent of residents ... have to fill out the form to prove they’re not speculators,” tinyurl.com/ycwttgvc

Totally agree @Make_It_Right my daughter is currently working on her red seal for cooking but is seriously considering welding. @mike_holmesjr keep up the great work!
My son @mike_holmesjr ‘s friend is a licensed electrician and was working at a mall. A father and son walked by and the father said “This is why you need to go to school. So you don’t end up like him.” We’ve got to change our perception of the skilled trades.

"Most economists agree: rent control is bad for tenants, existing rental housing stock & the case for building new rental," says @goodmanreport via @georgiastraight #bcpoli straight.com/news/1174481/da…

Housing affordability ensures that homes are within financial reach of British Columbians and Canadians. Municipal, provincial and federal governments along with the construction industry must collaborate to address and reduce escalating costs.
