David Eby vows to impose supportive housing projects in “every neighbourhood,” never mind a court decision overturning one such project in Kitsilano .

“Everybody in B.C. knows there’s a housing crisis. They see that providing affordable housing with supports for people is part of the response to this.” The court did not rule on the merits of the project, but overturned a provincial law that was deliberately crafted to block any further challenges to the Arbutus project.

Eby says he's on the lookout for a workaround.

“We’re going to listen to communities,” he added.

“That’s an important thing for us to do. But one of the things we’ve also committed to do is to actually get the housing built.” He’ll listen all right. Just so long as at the end of the day , everyone agrees to do it his way.
