#medicare@pinhman If Vancouver wants to succeed at attracting healthcare workers, they are going to have to do something about the rampant property speculation.
Essential workers need affordable, central housing. -
@pinhman If Vancouver wants to succeed at attracting healthcare workers, they are going to have to do something about the rampant property speculation.
Essential workers need affordable, central housing.Vancouver unfortunately best illustrates how speculation & wealth drive housing inflation.
If it was just a matter of more density, more housing starts, Vancouver would be the cheapest place to live in North America, its the opposite.
"Patrick M. Condon contends that the public, rather than private owners, should capture the increase in land prices stimulated by economic growth and consequent population increases. He argues that value increments are not attributable to any investment by the landowners, but instead to improvements in the surroundings of their parcels. These improvements are themselves a consequence of both public infrastructure investment and the locational advantage that results from investment by other private development in the vicinity"

@pinhman Land should be nationalised. Patriarchal systems are based on private landownership, as is capitalism.
The nation should be the holder of the land, on behalf of all. People should be able to lease the use of the land, but not pass it on to relatives in their wills. -

But this would require Canada’s politicians to recognize that profit not regulation and zoning is the root of Canada’s housing crisis.
These allow housing to be taken out of the speculative market and remain outside of it.
It challenges the “land & housing can only be for profit” so who what and where will it be supported?
