Prime Minister Justin Trudeau started his post-shuffle re-pitching of his government as affordability-focused to Canadians on Thursday, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between the Liberals and their Conservative rivals. Housing was another key change made as part of the shuffle, and now the minister in charge says his file will be a 'complete priority.'
Yep. My first house was in Acton Ont. It was a “war time house” that was built to house returning vets after the war.
They just don’t build houses like that anymore. 2-3 bedrooms (small enough that a king size bed won’t fit in the largest), 1 bathroom, a kitchen/dining area, and a living room. That’s it. You walk in the front door into the living room.
There should be a mandate in place that forces developers that a certain percent of new developments (say…75%?) cost LESS than $300K. Instead they are making these huge McMansions, with a patio bug enough for a BBQ as a backyard, and they cram as many as they can in.
They’re not building communities. They are making horizontal condos and selling them for over $!M. each.
