These six policies will help you make your town housing-ready.
This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.
All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.
Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.
A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.
Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

Canada Housing @lemmy.ca OkayHereWeGo @lemmy.ca Landlords have been fined 11 times in 4 years for bad faith evictions. That's far too low, say experts
There are no consequences for landlords who break the rules. This will not end well, unless something changes dramatically - and soon.

Canada Housing @lemmy.ca Pxtl @lemmy.ca Mississauga city council decides against fourplexes, move 'very concerning': federal minister
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/7083978
Mississauga city council voted down a proposal on Wednesday that would have allowed fourplexes across the city but it decided instead to ask staff to consult on the feasibility of the idea and report back.
In a tie vote, council defeated the motion moved by Ward 2 Coun. Alvin Tedjo and seconded by Ward 5 Coun. Carolyn Parrish. The motion, which aims to address what is widely referred to as the "missing middle" of housing availability, called on the city to allow four units "as of right" in Mississauga. A fourplex is a residential building with four separate dwelling units.

Canada Housing @lemmy.ca MxWarp @lemmy.ca Statistics Canada says Canada’s inflation rate tumbled to 2.8 per cent in June, putting it within the Bank of Canada’s target range.
Excluding gasoline, headline inflation would have been 4.0% in June, following a 4.4% increase in May.
Canadians continued to see elevated grocery prices (+9.1%) and mortgage interest costs (+30.1%) in June, with those indexes contributing the most to the headline CPI increase.
The all-items excluding food index rose 1.7% and the all-items excluding mortgage interest cost index rose 2.0%.
