How is New Westminster tackling the housing crisis?

Stephen Quinn speaks to Mayor Patrick Johnstone about New Westminster's efforts to provide housing for its growing population. Some of the key projects include Plaza 88, which revitalized downtown, and new student housing at Douglas College.
This is episode one of The Early Edition's 'The Big Idea', a series in which we ask a municipality in Metro Vancouver to show us a specific location that demonstrates how they're tackling the housing crisis.
