The B.C. government is loosening the rules for payment of development fees in a bid to jump start home construction that has been hampered by upfront costs.
We’ve been using “bribe developers” to fill the gap since we stopped building public housing almost fifty years ago. It’s never worked, and it isn’t going to start now
Maybe, and hear me out, here, maybe governments should just build homes directly instead of bribing developers to do it?
The market has no interest in solutions whent there’s very good money to be made on the problem.
