Been spending days thinking about this. If the value crashes naturally, WE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO WILL GET THE HOUSES!!! Any moderately middle class person with a home will lose it, and private equity will buy it all up. Gov subsidized housing is their way of preventing that.
Something smells here. At a time when the BC and federal Canadian governments are running massive deficits, they are choosing to bail out Lower Mainland developers to the tune of $3.2 Billion. This is a completely unethical use of taxpayer money and an expense we cannot afford.
That is why I am calling for a provincial investigation to be launched to find out who is receiving this taxpayer money and what connections they may have to David Eby, his Ministers, and the BC NDP political party.
Sign the petition if you agree we need an investigation now:

House and wilson living together in a beautiful condo….two besties being roommates well into middle age…..its beautiful to see your dreams manifest, even if for others
Watching love island uk season 2, back when they were casting people who worked in shoe shops and had 900 followers. The Golden Age. The last time we knew, could even access, peace of mind.
Can someone who works in reality tv tell me why almost every season of every show they choose to cast two people with the same name? I just know theres a psychological reason they do it but i cant sort it out…..
Is there a name for when it makes you cry to see someone achieve their dreams? The episode of house where Cuddy takes a stand against the insurance company…and wins?? Im sobbing, we are all so capable of anything we strive to achieve, while still keeping our hearts pure and good
Saying to wait to judge After the transaction is crazy. Wait until your money is spent to decide how you feel about it? He needs to DIRECTLY explain why a federally supplemented rent 2 own structure is better for canadians than allowing those condos to drop to actual market value
PM Carney tries to clarify what the billion-dollar condo bailout entails, noting that BC came up with the idea, and “no developer” asked for it:
“I don't think we've done a particularly good job of rolling this out, explaining what this is.”

1000 words….like ok kinda weird but im sorry to this lady that we live in the age of the illiterate because people are acting like she asked them to read a draft of infinite jest
That lady who handed her new and struggling friend 1,000 words of poetry and fiction and then got upset and embarrassed when it went badly is a pretty good example of why you should not tell odd people to “just be yourself” without serious caveats
The whole subplot in house md where chase is scared to tell cameron about dibala is so weird me because there is actually nothing hotter i can imagine than my husband risking his livelihood to murder a genocidal dictator
finding a man willing to grab your ass seems like a ‘bar is in hell’ kind of thing but i forget how much some of you love to date men that hate you and think youre ugly
Dear generation screwed, if you were waiting for prices to drop before buying a house, the Liberal government is bailing out developers and bidding against you, so that you can be a renter instead.
Hi, I work in real estate development. This is insane.
Yes, most projects are struggling. No, taxpayers should not be used to backstop private developers who misjudged the market.
If government wants more housing, build housing. Build it at cost.
That would be bad for my industry, but good public policy isn’t supposed to protect our profits, it’s supposed to serve Canadians.
Carneys $2.5B condo bailout should enrage everyone.
Tax payers footing the bill into developers pockets who made more money than god for many years. Now their risk fails and tax payers foot the bill.
Shame on you @MarkJCarney
Poilievre: I met a lady at the airport the other day who told me that she moved from Vancouver to Mexico so that she would feel more safe. Let that sink in. She feels more safe in Mexico than in Vancouver.
(Mexico’s homicide rate is more than 13x higher than Vancouver’s)
