Building Affordable Housing

 I've been hearing about all the political parties' views on building more housing. Now finally it appears that the rhetoric has shifted to building AFFORDABLE housing. That is what Canada needs. Mark Carney pointed to the Post WW2 effort to build houses for veterans. What were they? They were basic houses some as small as 625 Sq. ft. with unfinished basements and attics. What has been built in the last 5 years? In Nanaimo, huge 2500 Sq. ft homes, with rental suites. Basically unaffordable for people trying to get started.

Let's smarten up and start building smaller houses.
