Repealing all the provincial mandates on zoning and housing targets would be a disaster
Doerkson's only answer at the debate on housing was basically to become more NIMBY. What a joke.

Thank you. That actually makes it worse as Russia targets civilian housing and stores. Ukraine cannot defend itself.

After seeing a BC Green candidate speak against BC’s infill housing legislation and housing targets, I had people tell me their party platform was more pro-housing supply.
It isn’t. It has some good stuff about renter protection, but nothing about tackling the root cause of the housing crisis.

⛔️ "Update the housing targets methodology, in partnership with municipalities, to include assessments
of infrastructure"
Clearly a way to allow municipalities to NIMBY their way out of housing targets. A very bad plan. If we're missing infrastructure on housing lets build it.

Doerkson wants to scrap the B.C. step code, recognizes that housing approval times are a problem, but wants the province not to mandate anything to municipalities (sounds like he wants to repeal missing middle and transit zoning and housing targets)
Not sure how that would work.

Though the greens aren’t proposing to repeal them fully, their housing proposal is to undermine the housing targets.
I had hoped building more housing would become a consensus issue in BC, but the NDP are the only ones for it it seems.

So much progress has been made on this issue by the NDP, and the Greens voted against much of it, now they’re fully playing to anti-housing NIMBYs. The only things in here on market supply are more costs for builders and weakening the housing targets.
This isn’t a party that cares about economics.
