So they can free up land and housing
There is enough housing available but when land hoarders snap up all the land they create sn unnatural shortage
Punish the land hoarders instead of constantly raising taxes on single home owners who end up subsidizing the hoarders
Btw a lot of these hoarders are from china

Illegals get better treatment...
We will nevewr eliminate homelessness. It is a a lifestyle choice. West Coast cities that have tried big government solutions to it have the highest number of homeless people.

Houses bought fifteen years ago for $850,000 are now worth $5,000, 000 and subject to one percent surtax or fifty thousand dollars a year forcing middle class families to sell their homes, but only the very rich can buy them. A recent B.C. Freedom of Information request by Ryan LLC, a division of global tax services and software provider Ryan ULC, revealed that British Columbians – mostly in Vancouver — are having to defer their property taxes more than ever. According to the report, "As of May 2021, nearly 73,000 residents, mostly seniors who were eligible, deferred their taxes, up from 41,488 residents in 2015/16." Despite those concerns, in December Vancouver City Council approved a 6.35 percent property tax increase, even bigger than the five percent it had initially asked city staff to budget for.
Market experts and real estate developers say B.C.'s municipal and provincial governments have created so many disincentives to investment that developers are highly reluctant to put shovels in the ground to start new housing projects. And it's not just taxes, but the onerous burden of red tape and high fees. For example, the City of Vancouver lists 18 separate inspections required merely for a single-family home, plus an additional five inspections for a detached garage. Vancouver's building permit fees are twice the average rate in major U.S. cities, according to figures compiled by the Altus Group, a real estate and data company. This is insane. The fees are so big they cannot be justified.
Further, Vancouver's building code requires enhanced insulation on both the interior and exterior of every building, unlike codes in much colder cities, such as Winnipeg and Edmonton. Vancouver has the mildest climate in Canada. To require insulation in Vancouver that isn't required in Winnipeg makes zero sense.
Nonsensical requirements increase costs and further delay projects in a market where the approval process is already notoriously slow. One-third of the Vancouver building applications submitted in 2016 were still under review in 2019 – three years later. There is a backlog of more than 500 applications from people seeking permits to build single-family homes, duplexes and laneway houses.
Developer Jon Stovell, CEO of Reliance Properties Ltd., says application processing times have tripled from what they were 10 to 20 years ago. "It takes two years to get a permit that used to take six months," Stovell says. "It takes five years to get a rezoning. It's become quite a broken system." He estimates the delays and complex requirements add 10-15 percent – hundreds of thousands of dollars – to the price of a home. The city, Stovell says, simply doesn't pause to consider the cumulative effect of all this regulation: "It's built up like a coral reef until they rip the bottom out of any ship that tries to sail through. The government is just making it too hard, too time-consuming and too expensive."
Bryn Davidson, CEO of Lanefab, which builds laneway homes, says the "layers and layers" of regulation aren't even prioritized. "We treat window trim rules the same way as life-safety rules," he notes. "That's the absurdity of having all this stuff bloating our system at a time when we have a housing crisis."
And the final nail in the coffin in Vancouver for housing is the zero emissions building standards that delay construction and and drastically increase the cost of housing while reducing the supply.

The 9th circuit in a case out of Idaho ruled that cities can't move homeless or force them to move unless they have free shelter space to offer to them. Skipping over how the court ruling is making policy instead simply ruling on law... This creates a massive problem for cities in the west because they had to create hundreds of thousands of shelter beds for homeless drug addicts.
This is actually an affordable way to officially have "shelter" to offer the druggies so that they officially can be told to GTFO. BTW you want this temp shelter to be as uncomfortable as possible because you cannot force them to enter rehab for their drug addiction (and studies show 80%-90% are drug addicts). So if they want better housing they actually have to enroll in free drug rehab programs.
This is actually a good policy. I would love to restore the old "duty to care" where people who cannot or will not care for themselves get arrested and put into state institutions but in the 1970's leftists on the supreme court claimed that was unconstitutional. So we are stuck doing stuff like this.

Yeah, that was making fun of the Coney 2009 guy. Who was always a completely clueless drugged out nutjob. Like most idiot leftists he used his small child as a puppet and told him what to say on camera. Leftists love to try to trick kids into repeating what they want them to say. That always seemed explotative to me.
