Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

I would think anybody who calls himself a conservative would say "minimize regulation to zoning and building codes, and let the market take care of it."

Minimize regulations is certainly part of the solution. Many of our left leaning politicians are now tripping over each other pretending to want just that. The fact that they are the ones that brought in most of these job stoppers seems to have escaped them. Some of the simple things like speeding up the permit process will be easy with a bit of political will. Our Regional District(county to you) is known by contractors to be the worst in the Province to deal with. 6 months to get a building permit for off the shelf house plans that meet zoning is simply not acceptable.

I’d like to see new 1000 square foot bungalows, as opposed to 5000 square-foot McMansions being pumped out, especially when space is not an issue.

That might go a long way towards the desire for home ownership that’s not Condos and potentially within the means of most families, ect…

I would add trailer parks to that. Reasonable price, medium density and quick.

From what I've seen, any of the homes being built now are way over what the homeless can afford. Do government people have any common sense at all?

The homeless out here use skids and tarps .

Everybody is overlooking the main issue. Domestication of the feral. Wild beasts don't do well in cages.

Most of the homes being built are way over what 80% of the population can afford…unless they have multigenerational mortgages…
