Rob Shaw: Poilievre and Eby have a lot in common on housing

Pierre Poilievre and David Eby have a lot in common in their plans to address British Columbia’s housing market.The man who might be Canada’s next prime minister visited Vancouver the last few days, where he studiously avoided much reference to the man who will be B.C.’s next premier.

“They have restricted building and made this one of the most expensive places to get permits.… We need a big reversal in B.C., and my federal policies will require any city that wants more infrastructure money to speed up and lower the cost of building permits.” Eby does go further in certain areas: A B.C. Builds fund to kickstart construction, $500 million to buy up and preserve rental buildings, an anti-flipping tax, provincewide legalization of secondary suites and automatic upzoning of single family lots to allow for triplexes in urban areas.

Poilievre spent several days in Metro Vancouver, his first time back since winning the federal Conservative leadership race in decisive fashion on the first ballot in September.
