Jericho and the RCMP lands were (foolishly) signed over without regards to affordability. The 1st Nations participants are on record as saying affordable housing is not a concern for them there. The whole debacle at Little Mountain was precipitated by CMHC getting out of the housing business and turning the site over to BC, which was foolish. I'd love to see a map of the Lower Mainland with every municipally, provincially and federally owned piece of land identified.

Aren't you a huge NDP supporter? Weird to hear you bash the NDP's municipal governance. Why would Richmond or Burnaby care, instead of going NIMBY they built a ton of condos and while things are more expensive its not crazy like Vancouver. Rents in downtown Richmond or near Metrotown are half of downtown Vancouver.
PS: Notice something in Vision's logo?
