People who aren’t hell-bent on solving every problem via market solutions are the ones who can do this. The solutions for housing are known and have been tested across Canada, UK and Europe prior to the neoliberal era. Theoretically they could implement some of those using private builders by controlling the loan/financing side of things, like China does. Ana Bailao being appointed as the CEO of the new institution is a positive sign. Apparently BCH would be buying up older rental buildings to keep them in operation instead of letting them be demolished and replaced with luxury condos for higher profit. That’s just what’s about to happen to a rental complex in my neighbourhood. Hundreds of families are about to be kicked out and have their rent drastically increase. Likely some would end up on the street. There’s a park nearby.
