Rental squeeze won’t let up without the help of feds

Metro News quoted Penny Gurstein, director of the School of Community and Regional Planning at UBC, for a story on the difficulties of finding rental housing in Vancouver.

“It’s been gradual, but since the mid-1990s the federal government involvement in housing has only been to encourage home ownership,” Gurstein said. “It has not really tried to address all of these other issues, and what has been created is this huge homelessness issue.”
