Yes, this socialist income redistributor does care about affordability of housing. Saying however is is all the fault of government is ludicrous. We want to have livable communities, not Capitalist ant farms to hold workers.
I didn't say it was ALL the fault of the government. And spare me your Marxist rhetoric. We're living in a country with one of the richest standards of living in world history.
We don't want so have government subsidize developers so they can make huge profits and pass on the cost to the taxpayer. Development charges are important that new infrastructure required by the new houses is not downloaded on everyone.
Why shouldn't it be downloaded onto everyone? When I bought my last house I paid no GST or HST and no development charges. Because it wasn't brand new. I didn't have to contribute a dime to the sewers and roads or other infrastructure beyond my yearly taxes. By heaping this all onto developers they simply pass it on to potential buyers in a lump sum which drastically increases the cost of new housing and pushes it beyond reach for many people.
I know you love to have the taxpayer subside your business so you can make profits and accumulate the wealth and be the real income redistributor.
More brainless anti-business Marxist bullshit.
