B.C. is facing a housing crisis: 700,000 homes need to be built by 2030 to restore affordability.

Conservative leader John Rustad ’s comments to The Vancouver Sun signalling his intent to repeal this legislation are concerning.

Repealing this legislation would hurt families and communities who need more housing options, says Small Housing .

Conservative leader Rustad ’s comments raise important questions about the direction of housing policy in B.C. Small Housing says gentle density is all about creating housing that works for people at all different stages of life and income levels.

The legislation strikes a balance between letting municipalities have a say and making sure we build enough housing to meet the needs of everyone.
