BREAKING: the Ford government is also building out condo developers through a Crown agency. They plan to buy 2,200 unsold GTA condos. Last week, Carney announced a program to buy 2,200 unsold Vancouver condos. The exact same number. Same condo glut. Same “affordable” framing. They call it “affordable housing.” But neither make the developer take a loss. But you do. You get the bill.

Former Mayor of Coronado California is blowing the whistle on a new housing project These new San Diego “affordable housing units” are going to cost $900,000 per unit He shows a luxury sky rise building with luxury amenities was built for half that “This affordable student housing project is projected to cost taxpayers nearly $900,000 per unit to build. Meanwhile, this luxury residential development recently sold for just $400,000 per unit. So what gives? (Here’s more California Democrat housing projects) - Government funded affordable housing projects like 101 Astoria at $1.1 million per unit - This city college project at $900,000 per unit - Rose Creek Village at $600,000 per unit All routinely cost far more than luxury residential units. I'm Richard Bailey, former mayor of Coronado and here's why you should care. It's very popular these days for politicians to campaign on affordable housing. Obviously, no one is against affordable housing, but the affordable housing projects being built by government agencies are often double the per unit cost — San Diego taxpayers are paying double the amount for lower quality housing that they won't even be eligible to live in”

Doug Ford wants to take away people’s Charter Rights instead of addressing the housing crisis that he has caused. Today I asked the Premier: where are people supposed to go if there are no affordable homes to go to? The Ford government holds the keys to unlocking affordable housing but fails at every turn.

Canada’s government is now using your tax dollars to buy up empty condos in B.C. — and calling it “affordable housing.” Here’s what they’re not telling you. Developers overbuilt and couldn’t sell. Instead of letting the market correct, the government stepped in with $3.2 billion to bail them out. The developers get made whole. The government gets control of the housing supply. And you? You get to pay for it. Now imagine owning a $1M condo while the units around you fill with subsidized housing. What happens to your value? Your rent? Your exit? They already run the banks, healthcare, and your taxes. Now they’re reaching into the market itself. Follow the money — it never ends up in your pocket.

To combat the housing shortage, I'll fight to build millions of units of affordable housing — reinstating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to build what the private market won't. I'd double housing vouchers, make rent tax deductible just like mortgages, and ban private equity from buying up our homes. I'm not bought by developers or corporations so I will actually fight for you in Congress. Read my full housing plan with the link in bio!

In China they believe houses are for living in not for speculation or profit. It has resulted in 90% of Chinese people owning their homes while people in the U.S. struggle to pay rent. China also invests in social housing while the U.S. government gives money to for-profit real estate developers to build “affordable housing” that is NOT actually affordable.

An “affordable housing” project at San Diego City College is costing taxpayers $900K+ per unit while nearby market-rate developments cost just $350-$450K per unit. This is the latest in a series of “affordable housing” projects built by government agencies, at taxpayer expense, that are costing taxpayers 2X what higher quality units cost to build. To learn why affordable housing projects costs more to build than market rate projects, follow along.

Carney says they didn't explain the condo bailout properly. No. Canadians understood it perfectly. Developers are stuck with unsold units. Government wants taxpayers to help absorb them. Calling it affordable housing doesn't change the transaction. 🚨🇨🇦

By empowering Build Canada Homes to fully step into its own as Canada’s affordable housing builder, our government is not just taking bold action to tackle today’s affordable housing shortage, we’re looking to the future.

It is always a pleasure to visit Rev. Brawley and the Metro IAF Leadership Team, and I look forward to working with you on my housing plan to build 100% affordable units on city-owned vacant lots.
