this is unsustainable and small business will suffer as ppl have less to spend on anything other than rent and basics to live. Disgusting cost of living

Thanks Justin. Keep bringing in 1 million people a year and most of the country will be spending 80% of their income on rent.

Wow, so this is news now? This has been the issue for many years. Now they are building more condos in Lower mainland away from Vancouver. People are moving further from Vancouver (Abbotsford/Chilliwack). The rent in those areas that use to be cheaper, is now par with city rent because of supply and demand. So now it is hard to find a job because there are so many people applying. There will be a shortage of schools when most of these apartments open. There will be limited daycare. The crisis is here and has been here. If the goal is push low income earners to the curb, its happening.

@@shauncameron8390 listen good. Landlords perpetuate a housing crisis, by holding housing hostage under the threat of homelessness and taking away your dignity. Any landlord who paid off their mortgage is not like they’re gonna cut the rent. It’s 100% profit, plus the government approval to raise rents a certain percentage every year. The deck is stacked against the renter the house always wins, corporate rule reigns over our lives. Until they eliminate housing as an investment vehicle, and make it a human right, this will never stop.

@@shauncameron8390 when you’re a landlord you’re ruling over someone right to a roof over their head and their right to freedom and dignity. When you ask someone for more than the recommend percentage for rent, you’re the tyrant, you’re robbing people of their freedom and dignity. That’s what being a landlord is.

Homes may be mass produced at low cost. There is little reason to custom build a basic, single-storey home. This process may be automated to produce panels that fit together that are insulated, wired and plumbed. Wall panels fasten together and into a floor panel that contains all of the utilities to form rooms. Infrastructure that comprises a residential base with water, electricity, and sewer connections contained within are constructed beforehand to serve the needs of a city on which homes are erected. Imagine, ordering a home on Amazon for fifteen thousand dollars and being able to assemble it within an hour that has double or triple the space of a million-dollar apartment with features such as an embossed ceiling that add a whole new dimension to luxurious living. The floor contains all of the utilities, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, wiring, plumbing, water and drainage. Then it is merely a matter of plugging in vertical panels into the floor to form the outer walls and space for living-room, bedrooms, closets, kitchen and bathroom. This floor is the "mother floor-board" from which all utility connections rise upwards from the floor into vertical wall panels. No utility lines connect horizontally between vertical panels. Sinks, toilets and shower head are attached to wall panels that also plug into the floor. Wall panels that are possibly 4’x8’ or one meter by three meters are made from a composite plastic material mass produced in an automated process. Panels that comprise the floor are one meter by fifteen meters with the panel at the edge containing utility lines. A ceiling is set on top of the walls. The roof is a convex panel that fits on top of and plugs into the outer walls. It is also possible that with this waterproof plastic material each individual room has a bubble dome roof/ceiling with pipes in the walls that drain into the base. LED lights are built into the top edge of a wall panel while an electrical outlet is near the bottom. Thus, the entire home is made by inserting vertical wall panels into the floor panel that rests on top of and is connected to the city infrastructure slab base. It is not inconceivable that this single-storey home with one, two or three bedrooms be assembled and ready to move into within an hour or two of the kit being delivered. Of course, this will never happen. Keep dreaming. It will take China to lead the way and transform housing from the nineteenth century tailor-made suit concept into ready-to-wear off the rack homes that cost $15,000/$5,000,000 = 0.003 of the present cost of a home in Vancouver. The flaw in this analysis: Citizens may not utilize the land resource that was _not_ promised to them in the presently cozy arrangement, functioning like a monopoly with monopoly prices that shunts their lifetime earnings exacted through shelter directly into the pockets of the chosen few making them rich without effort while after a lifetime of hard work residents are left to die homeless on the street.

And about one year and a half ago,And me and my family are paying our rented ground level 3 bedroom unit in a home/house for $1,200.00 monthly rent that increased to $1,350.00.And later on,And we were forced --- out to moved by our Indo --- Canadian homeowner on August 2022 when he sold the house that we are renting for almost 7 years to a Southeast Asian/Chinese investor.And once we found another ground level two bedroom unit that was connected or attached to a big house or mini --- mansion,And the owner of the house that we are renting charged us a whopping $2,600.00 a month rent.And that's how expensive it is to live in Metro Vancouver's regional home city of Richmond ( Island City,by Nature ),British Columbia.
