1. Stop the Loss |
✔️Tenants Protections: "But, there are good reasons to renovate and demolish. Memoranda of Understandings have been quite effective to protect tenants' rights." |
✔️Housing Acquisition: "But I also want to look at other options as well. There is not one solution only to our challenges." |
2. Create More | ✔️Inclusionary Zoning: "Yes, but this comes with challenges when builders don't build apartments because there are too many fees. We have to be careful not to work against our goals." | ✔️Increased Budget: "But there are other ways to ensure indigenous people have housing first. When we set targets like this, we sometimes spend a lot of money on frameworks and research that results in very little housing resulting." |
3. Preserve the Quality | ✔️Landlord Licensing: "There should be some level of accreditation. However, again, when we set up licensing, a lot of money is spent on the whole program of licensing instead of just using that money to make more housing available." |
✔️Ombudsperson: "But, it is more red tape. Money going to some oversight body instead of housing!" |
