My provincial premier (BC) has passed comprehensive reforms but the Federal government is MIA. We did not even get a mention in the Federal housing accelerator. In BC, we have organized crime groups washing money thru our property market. It's something Federal government can help with but they've been silent about it. We've been asking you help with homelessness but the Federal government has been woke and performative about it. Federal government could push for ALR reforms. There's so many places the Federal government can help but it keeps hiding behind jurisdiction.

@MrAlen6e they just did a week ago. They started consultations about 18 months ago. I participated in bylaw reforms consultations for 3 rounds.

@camelliapeng5954 Sure. Federal government wants a price cut and push social housing programs on to the city. The Fed doesn't want to compensate for long term losses in revenue. Do you think any BC city would agree to those terms? There's no thought put into the way housing accelerator program, it's hastily conjured up. I'd love to see it succeed but whatever is getting done is not sufficient.
