Can you please ask the Mayor who, for the last 9 years, has DENIED any problems in the local real estate market, how he plans to guarantee the affordability of these new homes? There is no evidence that merely building more, makes real estate any more affordable. I hear nothing from him re: policy that guarantees that people who live, work and pay their income taxes have a chance at any homes here, including rentals. Is he going to support and prohibit the banning of  real estate purchases purely as 'buy and hold' for the wealthiest global investors? He hasn't even come up with a solid plan to fill all the empty homes in Vancouver yet, has he? Won't his aspirational plan--yet another one--miss its mark, without interventions?

So, Gary, what evidence do you have that this Mayor, who has filled his campaign coffers with developer dollars, is suddenly actually listening to his constituents? What proof do we have that this is not more of the same, merely geared to the next civic election?
