Those newspaper clips showing the housing shortage (although I think calling it a "crisis" is hyperbole) just shows how useless government is at solving problems since it took ~6 decades for local leaders to figure out that permitting developers to largely have their way floods the market with housing which not only stimulates the local economy by creating employment but also solves the housing problem which largely explains Victoria's microscopic unemployment rate

That's crazy that Victoria's original Mickey D's underwent a thorough rebuild (probably cost 6 digits) recently only to see yet another residential mid-rise proposed for their lot. The residents will have a front row seat to the squalor that the opioid epidemic has created too. Lucky them. It's great to see setbacks on the building too
