“We can build attainable housing on public land for the middle class,” Eby told supporters at a gathering in his Vancouver–Point Grey riding Tuesday evening

“The NDP has never shied away from delivering a public response to a struggling private market, whether it is health care, pharmacare, child care and even insurance,” he reminded the crowd. “We can’t give up on those successful responses now when it comes to housing.”Article content “We can do it on our own, in partnership with Indigenous people, and in partnership with the private sector,” said Eby. “We can build housing that is rent-to-own, long-term lease, and affordable rental.”

He offered no apologies for doing the job of housing minister as he sees it: “Sometimes that means saying things that are true — that local governments have to approve more housing; they have to be faster.” Yet he didn’t rule out provincial legislation to override holdout municipalities where affordable or rental housing is at stake.“I hope that by addressing their concerns around growth and how we make it livable, we’ll be able to work together.Article contentThere’s still a lot to be determined about Eby’s plan to develop publicly funded housing for the middle class.

B.C. Housing has “grown dramatically” under the NDP, making it “one of the biggest developers in North America and certainly in Canada,” he says.
