When Ford and Poilievre talk about criminalizing encampments, and conflate "addiction" with homelessness, know that this rhetoric comes from the billionaire-owned American think tank the Cicero Institute, whose policies have been adopted by Donald Trump. www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1...
Amid record homelessness, a Texas think tank tries to upend how states tackle it
The conservative Cicero Institute is working with states to ban street camps, and shift money away from housing to addiction treatment. Homelessness advocates says such moves are counterproductive.

A million more housing starts in 5 years?

Approx 1.3 Mil starts expected by 2030 based on 2014-24 trend.
@PierrePoilievre program claims a GST reduction, "encouraging cities" & sale of federal land will result in 1 Mil more market housing starts.

How realistic is this?
