Home prices haven't declined in Metro Vancouver since the last B.C. election. But talking about them has
NDP say small price hike better than big price hike
As for the governing party, there are times when NDP Leader John Horgan sounds an awful lot like Christy Clark circa 2016.
"We need to be very cautious," he said Friday, when asked if he would take further measures to "moderate" the housing market if re-elected.
"People have equity in their homes, we need to be mindful of that," he added, declining to name any new measures a second term NDP government would take — beyond pushing for "more supply," which is largely in the hands of city halls.
Horgan also accurately pointed out that housing prices in the Lower Mainland went up by more than 50 per cent in the three years before the 2017 election. That's a far cry from the 3.6 per cent increase under his government, evidence the taxes put in place near the start of his term likely had an effect.
Which may be one reason the Liberals have been reticent to focus their campaign on the cost of housing: the NDP has plenty of ammunition they could use against them.
"There were those that predicted … a catastrophic crash in housing values when we brought in the speculation and vacancy tax. Instead we've seen a modest, just-above-inflation-rate increase in costs for people purchasing new homes," said Horgan.
Of course, the NDP's biggest promise last election was to make life more affordable, not to ensure a "modest … increase in costs."
If the governing party gets through this campaign without that becoming a big issue, it'll be another way this election will be a unique one. |
