What city do you live in, and what neighbourhood in that city?
I currently live in Sunshine Hills, North Delta. But I lived in East Richmond in the Cambie and No. 5 area for almost 23 years. It is where I lived for the longest period in my life.
Do you rent or own your own home?
I live in an extended family system with my parents in their home.
If you own a home, when did you buy it? How has the current housing market situation impacted you?
N/A
If you rent, or have another housing arrangement, how has the current housing market situation impacted you?
After 16 years of neglect by this government, even as a successful lawyer who has been working as such for almost 18 years, I can’t afford buying into this housing market. I am fortunate that I live in an extended family system. Not everyone is so fortunate.
If there is one single policy that the next provincial government can enact to address a housing need, what would that policy be? Be specific.
No single policy can address the 16 years of neglect for ordinary people that Clark and the Liberals have. They are the architects of a crisis that will take finesse to solve. A multi-faceted approach, as the NDP proposes, is needed to battle speculation and money laundering to solve this.
