I've been keeping an eye on Burnaby. In 2023 they created a municipal housing authority to build public housing which will, in my opinion, do a lot to fix housing affordability. Once their buildings actually start getting built, assuming they don't fuck it up, maybe I could move back to civilization.

It's extremely naive to think building more housing will make housing cheaper. Cities like Vancouver and Toronto wil never tell you how many empty houses and condos are sitting unused on speculation.

What makes Burnaby interesting is the nature of the housing that the BHA is building. That is to say, public, non-market housing.

Tax empty houses and watch them get filled up so quickly.
