So, I repeat, what positive outcomes are these communities seeing?

And guess what? Core housing need is *up* in those communities since then.

And what positive outcomes are those communities seeing?

Nope - the highest they hit was ~14% in the early 80s.

Canada has *never* had a year in its history when social housing accounted for 15% of that year's completions.

Now, 14% is bigger than 0%, but relative to European standards, we've never been a country that built much.

Almost all of it is still standing today.

The problem is, that very little of it was built, even back then.

Given how inexpensive middle-class housing was in most of the country in the late 1990s and early 2000s, I'm not sure the timing fits well.

And if you don't think developers were profit-motivated in the 1960s and 70s, you may want to talk to a tradesperson from the era.

Correct, yes

What are you proposing as a solution?

What's the alternative?

Citation needed.

Absolutely not, which is why the status quo is highly unacceptable, and we need prices to go down, despite what the federal housing minister tells us.
