Appreciate PM Carney's brief breakdown of main elements of cost of living, and MP Robertson's acknowledgement re #AffordableHousing issue. Cautiously optimistic.

PP, however, is disingenuous by overly simplifying and narrowly defining increase of Vancouver housing taxes as sole cause of --> increase in housing costs.

EDITORIAL: Colorado lawmakers offer pragmatic bricks to shore up affordable housing

Short of a mass exodus from the metro area, a near-impossible reality given the region’s strong and diversified economy, more building into the market will be the only appreciable solution.

Housing affordability is still a major issue in the region, though. 😕

“Now may be the time for Denver’s apartment residents to ask for a break on rent.

After years of landlords having the upper hand, the Denver metro has become a renter’s market, according to the Apartment Association of Metro Denver, a landlord advocacy group.”
