Sixty million a year could build multiple public housing projects, every year. And on the other side of the balance scale is Charles.

We would still need an executive position. There would be no savings.

That’s maybe enough for one 100 unit building a year, depending on where it’s built, which is something but so far from anything substantial.

Building is fucking expensive right now even if the province uses paramountcy to bypass municipal zoning. Plus, the province sucks ass at building compared to private because its gov’t. That’s not too say I don’t support massive amounts of public housing being built because I do 100%, but gov’t is gov’t.
