The Hill Times
The federal government has “huge levers” it could use better to address the housing crunch and high prices Canadians are facing, according to policy expert Carolyn Whitzman. Median house prices are now about nine times the median income, a far cry from the three-times median income ratio she said Canadians came to expect in the 1980s and ‘90s. Whitzman is a PhD in urban planning, and the author of Home Truths: Fixing Canada’s Housing Crisis.
And the French government did that in 2000 when it said, ‘wow, we've left it up to the regions—i.e. the provinces—they're doing a really lousy job. Every municipality should have a mix of housing choices. We should have mixed communities.’ And they've been successful in that. That law has remained and indeed gotten strengthened, and they're now at about 15 per cent, whereas in 2000 they were about less than half of that. So it is possible to scale up non-market housing.
