Undemocratic BC Bills 44, 46, 47 & 18 don’t achieve housing affordability needs in Vancouver (or anywhere) so should be rescinded

The City of Vancouver is grappling with an affordable housing crisis, worsened by new provincial legislation shifting zoning authority to the Province. Upzoning is expected to result mostly in market housing, with few affordable options. Current targets show a mismatch between needs and developments, with 99% of units being market rentals. Additionally, 45% of approved projects remain unbuilt, displacing residents without penalties. The City needs $6 billion to meet affordability targets, underscoring the need for practical planning and funding solutions.
