Lək̓ʷəŋən [Lekwungen] Territory / Victoria, B.C. – In response to reports of sky-high rents at a taxpayer-funded HousingHub build in Kitsilano, BC Greens Leader Sonia Furstenau has released the following statement:
“The BC Greens aren’t surprised that the BC NDP’s housing bills have failed to produce affordable housing — it’s exactly what we argued for dozens of hours in the legislature last fall. To actually deliver affordable housing, we need a government that will invest in non-market solutions, including co-op and non-profit housing. Anything else is just more of the same.”
