SUMMARY:How Do We Make Victoria More Affordable? - A free panel discussion about how we build more
DESCRIPTION:How do we make Victoria a place more people can afford to call home?\nVictoria is a wonderful place to live\, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary people to afford to stay here. \nWhether you’re renting\, hoping to buy your first home\, raising a family\, or simply worried about the future of our community\, housing affordability affects us all. \nSo what can we actually do about it? \nJoin Common Wealth Canada and Homes for Living for an evening of conversation about one of the biggest challenges facing our region: how to build more homes and make our communities more affordable. \nWe’ll explore a question that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: Could the way we tax and pay for new development actually be making our housing shortage worse? \nBuilding new homes requires roads\, water systems\, and other public infrastructure. But the way we pay for these things can also make housing more expensive and harder to build. What if there were a better way? \nWe’ll bring together people working on housing\, economics\, and public policy to explore practical alternatives\, followed by an open Q&A and an opportunity to meet others who care about Victoria’s future. \nYou don’t need to be a housing expert to join us. Just bring your curiosity\, your questions\, and an interest in making Victoria a more affordable place to live.
