🚨 Carney's housing plan in one tweet:
📈 Government policies drove up land costs.
🏗️ Development fees made building uneconomic.
😶🌫️ Interest rates crushed buyers.
🏢 Thousands of finished condos sit unsold.
Now taxpayers are being asked to bail out developers by converting units into "affordable housing."
They created the crisis.
They're billing you for the cleanup.
Then they'll hold a press conference and call it a success.
🇨🇦 This isn't a housing plan.
It's a taxpayer-funded rescue of government failure.

🚨 Mark Carney says Metro Vancouver has 2,500 completed condos sitting empty.
Developers don't want to sell at a loss.
So Ottawa and BC are stepping in with billions in infrastructure money, cutting development charges by up to 50%, and using financing tools to convert vacant condos into affordable housing.
Later, when asked if governments could buy unsold units from developers, Carney replied:
"You can do both."
Taxpayers becoming the backstop for the condo market? 🤔
