Federal policy paper on housing gives short shrift to young people

The Vancouver Sun interviewed Paul Kershaw, a UBC professor at the school of population and public health, about the recently released federal plan for a National Housing Strategy and its limited references to home ownership concerns of younger Canadians.

“We have entire neighbourhoods that are pricing out the younger demographic even though they’re well educated and have decent-paying full-time jobs,” he said.
