Awww is that the best you can do?? your pedophileia is hampering your retorts LOL Surrender to what? Down to your level.... i won't stoop so low LOL LOL LOL

Nope...prove your lies It is great being me...I get to troll you and suck you in all the time LOSER LOL LOL LOL Fact is federal and most provincial impediments have been removed...talk to your municipality and the banks The National Building Code (NBC) The National Research Council of Canada publishes the NBC, which serves as the foundational standard for safe and efficient construction across the country. Restrictions and requirements within the NBC become law only after provincial/territorial adoption. Safety and Accessibility: The NBC includes provisions for structural safety (including earthquake forces), fire protection, and accessibility features. Energy Efficiency: The code establishes tiers for energy performance, providing a framework for achieving higher efficiency levels in housing. Construction Methods: Recent updates have included technical requirements for mass timber construction, allowing for wood buildings up to 12 storeys. Design Considerations: Some requirements, such as those related to minimum run dimensions for stairs, aim to improve safety. Other requirements, like those mandating two staircases in buildings over two storeys, have been cited as a factor in limiting the size and design of urban apartments. Federal Government Initiatives and Policies The federal government uses funding and policy to encourage specific types of home building and influence provincial/municipal restrictions: Incentivizing Density: The federal government, through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF), offers funding to municipalities that commit to meeting housing conditions, such as allowing four units to be built in their communities. Housing Design Catalogue: The federal government has developed a Housing Design Catalogue of pre-approved designs (including accessory dwelling units, fourplexes, etc.) to help streamline local approval processes and cut costs. Building on Federal Land: The new "Build Canada Homes" agency is tasked with developing housing on suitable federal properties across the country, particularly in communities like Ottawa. Financing Measures: The government has introduced mortgage reforms, such as expanding the availability of 30-year amortizations for first-time homebuyers and purchasers of new builds, to make homeownership more accessible. Buy Clean Policy: Federal procurement and investments in infrastructure now promote the use of low or net-zero-carbon construction materials and designs, including requiring a 30% reduction of embodied carbon in major projects by 2025. Jurisdictional Authority Ultimately, the primary authority for building restrictions rests with local authorities, as the national codes are only models until adopted. To build a home, you must obtain permits and approvals from your local municipality, ensuring compliance with local zoning laws and the specific provincial building code in effect (e.g., the 2024 Ontario Building Code).

I live in a older neighbourhood and that is high but my Son is in a newer area and his property taxes are that high too. Labour and materials are huge driver in home costs. Land prices, which is not discussed often is a big driver as well. A city lot in my area is between $300 to $600K. In the rural areas just out of town they are $250K. According to ReMax, it costs between $350 to $500 per sq ft to build a house in my city. Many decades ago there was a government program called AHOP (Assisted Home Ownership Program). Maybe it should be resurrected? As for NIMBYISM...for sure that is a problem. Where I live there are close to protests every time a developer wants to start a project. Delay after delay after delay causes prices to rise. There is a 18 hole golf course that has closed because it could no longer function has been in one court case after another for close to 5 years by citizens upset that they will lose their golf course view. Just last month the supreme court said it will not see the case. Ya think the developer is losing money and not going to add that cost to the homes they want to build (they planned 400 homes) It all adds to the cost of a home.

Duhhh, don't make $hit up. I never once said that. Lying is not something you do too often so, why start now? You just cannot stand it when it makes sense...fact is "The federal government (or provincial or municipal government) are not construction companies."

Ya gotta do waaaay better LOSER LOL LOL LOL Your retorts are so lame lately LOSER HA HA HA Yes, for sure "we are amused!"

No, in almost all of your recent posts you have been on a Palestine pedestal. Move it to your own thread, that is all that I and others ask of you. Russian nuke??? Man you have seriously gone adrift. Keep it away from this CANADIAN DEFENCE NEWS thread.

The only thing that you have said that is reasonable.

Look, this topic is CANADIAN DEFENCE NEWS...not to "clean up the mess in the ME.". We are not even there. We need military procurement to defend Canada and whatever other international obligations we have and the Middle East is not one of them. You want a ME pedestal...start your own thread about it.

There you are again...playing with kids...hey pedophile...making you feel superior??? LOSER LOL LOL LOL

Property taxes are what you pay when your house is already built and receiving the services ...whatever they may be. 'Mail has nothing to do with building a house, neither do the services received after the house is built... that is also a local municipality issue. The red tape I am talking about is in the building of the homes and and infrastructure required to support the house which is now at the provincial and local level. Decades ago there was a housing issue as well and the feds had what was called an AHOP (Assisted Home Ownership Program) program. Maybe that is something from the past that can be resurrected https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2017/schl-cmhc/NH15-511-1980-eng.pdf
