Canada needs more student housing. It helps students find a place they can afford near their classes and creates space in the community for families, which brings down the cost of a home for everybody. That’s why we’re going to build more of it.

@VivianeLapointe Now we will pay for foreign students housing? They can afford to go to school in Canada and pay College fees. I’m in Lapointe’s riding. I do not agree.

There would not be a housing problem for students had you Sean & your colleagues importing excessive Foreign Students. #TrudeauForTreason

Never happened in the last 8 years. Why now? Could it be because the Liberals have never been this low on the Poll?

They've taken their entire policy platform & thrown it in the dumpster in order to focus constantly on the problem they largely created & which is helping to push them toward defeat next elxn.

You're a bright young man and you've chosen communism, you've actually chosen to bring down Canada. How does that make you feel?

No. What’s needed is less international students. A 35% reduction, for 2 yrs does nothing. You created a tsunami. You ignored your own internal dept warnings 2 yrs ago. Now, all related infrastructure is suffering, including healthcare. Your incompetency is costing Cdn lives.

In North Carolina, it turns out if you don’t build it, they will still come. That’s why we’re focused on building more housing of all types so more North Carolinians can afford to own a home.

Too many families are leaving our city when their first baby is on the way. We need housing that's designed for growing families, and we're going to build it. Our ‘City of Yes for Families’ proposal will help build more homes for families, so they can live comfortably and affordably in the greatest city in the world.

To build more housing, we need to lower the cost of building new homes–reduce fees, lower the cost of capital, speed up permitting, and streamline regulations. We’re already doing it in San Jose. We can do it for every Californian.

Too many students across this country can't afford a place to rent. Now more than ever, students need the government to take concrete steps to bring down the cost of rent. The Liberals have failed when it comes to housing but I'm fighting back.

Owning a home shouldn’t be this hard. In PA, we’re short 100,000 homes and prices keep climbing. Today on the Senate Floor, I spoke in support of the ROAD to Housing Act, which cuts red tape and helps build more homes so families can achieve the American Dream again.

We made a commitment to stand up for the middle class and those working hard to join it – that’s why we’re taking action to drive down the cost of groceries and make life more affordable.

Rents are too high. Home prices are too high. Massachusetts needs more homes — and we have a plan to build them. I want to bring down the cost of housing. Trump’s outrageous tariffs on lumber and materials are making it more expensive.

Last year, we passed the most ambitious housing law in Massachusetts history. This year, we’re implementing it. The people of Massachusetts need housing options that meet their needs, so we’re going to build more homes. It’s that simple.

Build more homes to bring down the cost of housing. Build more power plants to bring down the cost of electricity. Build more small businesses that grow up to be big businesses. Cut red tape to do it & unleash the American Dream.

The shocking home prices. They aren’t so shocking anymore. But we’re not accepting this as the new normal. People need the benefits of a home now (not later) when it can make a huge difference in their lives. We all have a stake in this. Communities are stronger, more equitable and more diverse when everyone has a home they can afford. We know that creating a brighter future for today's children and the generations to come depends on acting now. That’s why we’re Making Homes Possible.⁠ ⁠ #MakingHomesPossible #HabitatGTA #MHP #GTAHousing

I’m a single mom of three teenagers who do not believe they’ll be able to afford a home in California. We have to build more and build faster so that our kids can afford to stay in California—and that’s why housing will be my number one priority as governor.

The American Dream shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford today's housing market. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act tackles high costs and low supply so more Americans can put down roots, build a family, and own a home.

One year ago we signed the first deal to change how we build homes in this country. Since then, we've worked with communities all over Canada to legalize housing, and to make it faster and easier to build homes. We’ve worked to build more homes near transit, more homes for students, and more homes at prices folks can actually afford. The progress is picking up across the country. In Halifax, there’s been a 40% increase in building permits in the last year. In London, starts increased by 65%. In Kitchener, they donated land to help create 10,000 homes. Over in Brandon Manitoba, they created incentives to get builders building more homes in their downtown, while the City of Saanich focused on pre-zoning university-owned sites so that students can live closer to where they study at the University of Victoria. We've got further to go, and we’ll keep working to get you into a home, faster. Stay tuned for the next round of Housing Accelerator Fund deals!

Work from home and other shifts mean there is a large supply of office space that we can use for housing, but for too long, outdated city regulations stood in the way. We’re now unlocking tens of thousands of housing units to conversion, which can be much faster and cost-effective than new construction.

.Scott Turner on the Trump admin's push to cut costly regulation at the city level in homebuilding: "The median price of a home in America's about $426,000. $100,000 of that is in regulations and regulatory environment. If you take that away, it brings down the cost of a house so more Americans can afford to buy."
