It doesn't make any economic sense at all. You force that requirement down to developer, where multi-million dollar worth of stock needs to be allocated to social housing, it just drives up the price for everyone else.

I love telling my friends that live in 600k condos in downtown, that a meth shelter is a block away, that their taxes paid for.
Or that 30k of that was for "social project" as part of the agreement to build their building.

You go to work, so that someone else can smoke meth, get free housing, and a cheque every month

You think i dont want to smoke some fentanyl after a bad shift some times? Hell yeah i do, but if i did, there would be no money for your 8th ambulance ride back to your free condo a block away from me

Il see myself out

I'm a complete NIMBY. I fully admit it. No shame.

Stay away from my street. Stay away from my neighbourhood. My house was effing expensive. We bought it for a reason. A quiet street/cul-de-sac with single family homes with decent sized yards, driveways, and kids playing in the street without parents having to watch over them.

When we lived near lower lonsdale, we bought a condo in a new complex and the rest of the area was also zoned for new construction of condos and townhouses. Whenever a sign popped up indicating another complex was about to be built, we couldn't complain. That's what we bought into: density. Even if the parking was bad and traffic was brutal some days. That was the deal.

But that's also why we saved like crazy and then moved to our house. We don't want to live next to a 4-plex.

Yes fine, this may be the inevitable future. But I can still complain about it.

I'll see myself out too. lol.
