Long time coming, but after 4 years of navigating a challenging municipal process, Lapis Homes and Urban Thrive are pleased to announce a one of a kind pre-sale program of our beautiful 9-home, car-free #yyj townhouse project that we’ve called Folk (Urbanthrive.ca/Folk). 🧵

I agree there are issues with Canadian health care but is this guy really advocating we shift to a US model of care, where they spend an average of $15,000 per person a year (Yuge administrative costs!) and it’s crappy care for anyone except the super wealthy? No thanks.

Free health care in Canada? Well it's free but the tax cost has surpassed $9,000 per person per year. Family of four $36,000 per year, so now do you still think Canada has free healthcare? Did you know 6% of Canadians use 94% of all healthcare dollars!

Has any housing policy expert in Canada read this report…you know, for ideas on how to tackle the high cost of housing. Or have we moved on to far more sophisticated strategies now?

Municipalities often use sticks and regulation to meet housing goals. It leads to fewer homes built. If they instead allowed for innovation by reducing bureaucracy and the taxes on housing, competition will push builders into providing better buildings and meeting broader goals.

For the first time years, the Canadian rental market is balanced, but still strong. No more lines of people with deposit checks in hand. Tenants have choices. This is the type of market where spending a little more to make buildings the nicest really pays off.

Absolutely, courtyards in middle housing forms also need minimal to no parking. #yyj municipalities, unfortunately, punish developers that try to build with reduced parking by adding more fees, rather than incentivizing these homes. You get what your policies require.

To get a housing crisis as bad as this, you need crazy things to happen, like the regional chief administrative officer believing that development fees do not increase housing prices. Why is this view so common among city planners? 1/
