What city do you live in, and what neighbourhood in that city?
My husband and I moved to New Westminster to raise our three children over 10 years ago.
Do you rent or own your own home?
We bought our home in New Westminster at a time when the housing market was more accessible than it is today.
If you own a home, when did you buy it? How has the current housing market situation impacted you?
We moved into our home two weeks before my daughter was born. She will be 11 years old this June. I worry, like many parents, that our children will not be able to afford a home in the city they grew up in.
If you rent, or have another housing arrangement, how has the current housing market situation impacted you?
N/A
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.
The B.C. Greens would introduce measures to cool the housing market, like increase the foreign buyers tax, and at the same time, build more affordable housing and strengthen the Residential Tenancy Act to protect renters.
