Small correction: There is no plan.

No one willing to pay deserving wages to construction laborers. If someone in Walmart makes 20$/hourly why would they work in dust, smoke, loud machinery, sun, cold for 25$/hourly??? Thats the reason I left construction job after a week. Realized for the amount of risk incentive is not enough.

If your a young millenial or Gen Z without rich parents be prepared to live in a tiny townhouse packed together like sardines. Otherwise you pretty much have to finance an already rich boomers retirement to buy a normal detatched home.

The houses will build themselves.

The real solution is to make Realtors take a flat fee for all non commercial sales. Next step is to eliminate all foreign purchases for any time of non commercial real estate. Same goes for companies in general. Stop letting non human entities buy homes.

The guy who's done nothing since 2015 to make housing affordable is now taking half measures. Look at the current amount of housing completions and compare it to what we would need to build.

Government does not build houses. Trades do. Trades are already stretched to their limits. The very good ones can basically charge what they want and are booked to their max, so who is going to pay for these premium tradespeople. So does this mean that the government is going to use untrained foreign labour to build the homes? Yikes! Also, where they build the homes is just as important as the trades. Do the locations of the builds have jobs to sustain the influx of people? Are the schools where the builds are proposed near capacity prior to the build? Who will build the new schools if the trades are busy building homes? How about hospitals and doctors, are they also at capacity prior to the build? There are many nuances to this problem that need to addressed before this turns into a complete disaster. Are the new immigrants (mostly from India) trained to Canadian standards in the trades?

That is what they did in the USA and the new home quality is so low people are buying old homes to fix up.

It's why we should change to mass timber buildings because they can be produced with smaller teams, meaning current construction trades would be able to crank out more homes per team. They're high skill blue collar work where the buildings are produced in weather controlled facilities using CNC machines and stuff. It's honestly perfect for Canada as we have a higher educated workforce, even in blue collar sectors. Instead of 200 people working on a building at a time, they could be split into like 4 teams of 50, each one working on a DIFFERENT building in the yard, while the site gets prepped with things like parking garages with concrete and steel, then they just come in with some flat packed trucks full of buildings and in the course of a week or so you'll have a whole building where there wasn't one. Then the crew goes back to the yard and starts the next job that was getting prepped while the work crew was gone with all the architects at the yard retooling and stuff like that.

@@Fenthule LOL... mass produced pre-fab homes? What could go wrong there with manufacturers trying to cut costs and corners at every turn. A little toxic glue here, a little "oops" covered up over there. LOL. Sure an glad I am not in the market for one of those potential disasters. Give me an old 70s fixer upper any day over that. Probably built in China and brought over here in a sea can LOL
