Canada announces revival of war-time housing plan in effort to speed up builds | FULL 

But the Trudeau liberals plan on a 500,000 target of new immigration in 2024.

Lol yup

Homes may be mass produced at low cost. There is little reason to custom build a basic, single-storey home. This process may be automated to produce panels that fit together that are insulated, wired and plumbed. Wall panels fasten together and into a floor panel that contains all of the utilities to form rooms. Infrastructure that comprises a residential base with water, electricity, and sewer connections contained within are constructed beforehand to serve the needs of a city on which homes are erected. Imagine, ordering a home on Amazon for fifteen thousand dollars and being able to assemble it within an hour that has double or triple the space of a million-dollar apartment with features such as an embossed ceiling that add a whole new dimension to luxurious living. The floor contains all of the utilities, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, wiring, plumbing, water and drainage. Then it is merely a matter of plugging in vertical panels into the floor to form the outer walls and space for living-room, bedrooms, closets, kitchen and bathroom. This floor is the "mother floor-board" from which all utility connections rise upwards from the floor into vertical wall panels. No utility lines connect horizontally between vertical panels. Sinks, toilets and shower head are attached to wall panels that also plug into the floor. Wall panels that are possibly 4’x8’ or one meter by three meters are made from a composite plastic material mass produced in an automated process. Panels that comprise the floor are one meter by fifteen meters with the panel at the edge containing utility lines. A ceiling is set on top of the walls. The roof is a convex panel that fits on top of and plugs into the outer walls. It is also possible that with this waterproof plastic material each individual room has a bubble dome roof/ceiling with pipes in the walls that drain into the base. LED lights are built into the top edge of a wall panel while an electrical outlet is near the bottom. Thus, the entire home is made by inserting vertical wall panels into the floor panel that rests on top of and is connected to the city infrastructure slab base. It is not inconceivable that this single-storey home with one, two or three bedrooms be assembled and ready to move into within an hour or two of the kit being delivered. Of course, this will never happen. Keep dreaming. It will take China to lead the way and transform housing from the nineteenth century tailor-made suit concept into ready-to-wear off the rack homes that cost $15,000/$5,000,000 = 0.003 of the present cost of a home in Vancouver. The flaw in this analysis: Citizens may not utilize the land resource that was _not_ promised to them in the presently cozy arrangement, functioning like a monopoly with monopoly prices that shunts their lifetime earnings exacted through shelter directly into the pockets of the chosen few making them rich without effort while after a lifetime of hard work residents are left to die homeless on the street.

Don’t forget the cost of the permits! 💸💸💸

Time to get to work just 1 year before the elections.

Dude i am a landlord and guess what i dont want to be a landlord anymore. I am sick and tired of it. Too much liability, tenants not paying rent and still cant get them out of the house for a year.

@@gsin311 I hear you. Remember when the bad tenants got together and made sure landlords were the group that needed punishment from their unfortunate tenants.. so gov leaned on them to solve the housing prices by freezing their ability to keep their head above water and froze rents, and then introduced legislation to allow tenants to beat up on them if they had any gripe. I got out of the business entirely and so did enough people that tenants have had limited choices and a complete drying up of anything to rent. This was the backlash on the demonstrations against free enterprise landlords. I have to say, the tenants won and now some are homeless. Before you tar me as being a PP conservative supporter.. I ask you to come out with his solutions for anything. He has none. His politics are totally running after victim politics… and that was the same politics that killed the canadian rental housing industry.

People build their own homes? Sure people with no construction skills are going to build a house. Doesn't work that way. City planners have to approve the land and put together the layout of the subdivision . Plan water, sewer lines, storm sewer lines natural gas lines, and electrical lines. Surveys done for lot allocation. There are environmental assessments that need to be done. Multiple permits granted. Then construction begins as builders can't build without the roads and all other services in place. You have standards that must be met in Canadian home construction, and inspections done during construction by certified inspectors. Only approved materials, construction standards and home designs are approved. $10,000 for a house? You are living in 2023 not 1930.

@@don-cw1yzbuilding your own house doesn’t mean physically doing it yourself 🤦‍♂️

@@don-cw1yzalso he was talking about the land not building the house

@@hockey_highlights_and_more Thank you for explaining it right

I’m curious about how they’re going to convince people to live in a pipe… 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@luisaraujo4708 Just an example of the Trudeau liberal's incompetence with the Trans Mountain expansion pipeline. The last liberal affordable home plan had an objective of 164 new affordable homes to be built. They actually accomplished building 12 homes over 8 years. What makes me think the new "wartime small homes" project will be any different?

@@don-cw1yz, I have no idea why you think what you think. Seriously, do YOU not know?

@@luisaraujo4708 I look at facts and actual accomplishments. Maybe you should too.

@@don-cw1yz, sorry but I’m leery of taking advice from someone who publicly states they don’t know why they think what they think.

Stop whining...

@@sneakywan you mean stop winning. 99% chance of a conservative majority if an election were held today.

Much of which are owned by the city?

It sounds like they’re planning on being as innovative as possible.

@@josephsmith594 yeah. We could always be more innovative though. There's been some recent studies, probably numerous ones over the years, talking about the benefits of the inclusion of plants and whatnot. If you really wanted to, you could build a water retaining, filtration system right into the building. Rooftop gardens, take into account natural solar, use coloured paints that absorb or deflect heat, carbon capture.. I guess it's still cost prohibitive or just not a priority to most.

Key phrase there is "planning on" - we needed all of this for more than half a decade, when we were screaming into the void that is Ottawa@@josephsmith594

We’ve done prefab homes before years ago there used to be a factory in Cambridge that built homes for mattamy, and drive them across the street, why did they stop doing this? Because these homes are junk and not well built

Then you may not understand the concept of very reasonable basic homes built by people for people. No frills but a warm comfy roof overhead. 1000s would be very grateful for this offer. Let's do it Govt Municipalities Prov!! Better value for taxes & all. Maybe like "Habitat for humanity" family/friends/ volunteers can help built with legal supervision. GO%%$$

Just another money grab

Lol yup. I own 2 homes but they are making it really hard for me to keep them. I might end up selling one but we shall see. This certainly looks making canada a rental economy. Just pay subscription pirces for housing and everythjng else

Unfortunately he's only talking about it, not implementing it in the same style or at the same scale as the victory homes.

Yeah but back in those days a nice 3-4 bedroom,2 bathroom new house cost around $20,000 -$25,000 and you had a 25-year fixed mortgage at 2 1/2 % for 25 years. For some it was tight but they scrimped & saved up the down payment to get that home.

@@beautanner8409 Do people want a 1200 sq ft bungalow?

@@don-cw1yz With the current options... would love one. More has to be done: it's unjust that we're letting wealthy non-residents buy once-middle-class homes while leaving locally-earning Canadians to squeeze into subsidized housing projects. That definitely must be fixed, or we're heading down a road that will be very difficult to come back from.

They haven't been throwing that much at the problem. Recently Trudeau touted his programs that gave about 400 million in repayable loans to builders in some of the largest cities. 4 months before this happened he gave Volkswagen and LG around 16b each so he gave two of the richest companies in the world 32 billion, and they weren't loans just cash payouts and years of tax breaks.

Do you honestly believe that lack of housing plans is where the log jam is?

Having pre-approved plans reduces the amount of hoops a potential homeowner, builder, and municipal agency have to jump through to expedite housing construction. Have you ever built a home? @@ryanoliver9475

Hi Lorie, fancy living in a shanty town? Should I call you comrade yet?

You're talking about a government that recently built a storage barn in Ottawa for $8 million. So I would say $400,000 -$500,000. Then of course Mr Gilbeault will have to approve the environmental studies. Ensure regular construction stoppage for bird migration seasons, and bird nesting season, and check for rare grasses and slugs that will require hand movement. Then they will be searching the construction areas for artifacts. Training in gender pronouns for all construction personnel.Very important! The first house that will actually be built 3-4 years from now. Unless of course there is a shortage of heat pumps as each home must have a heat pump. That might take another year.

Where do you find houses this cheap?

@@CorporateShill66 Back in the 1950's-1960s a nice 1200-square-foot bungalow in a nice subdivision sold for around $22,000. in Canada.

​@@don-cw1yz Yep, all to buy votes to save themselves time till the next election. None of this will get completed.

​@don-cw1yz love your comment...so true with this liberal government!

It's really not

Great idea, they used the same thinking in the Soviet Union. Oh, wait....

After the pandemic the focus was mainly toward providing aid toward Ukraine. Canadians only matter when the elections are close.

This isn't even the right thing. Just a way for them to control who builds what and how they want than letting the free market do it.

Blame on young people, ehh? It is hard to be motivated when you work full time to barely afford to pay bills and rent but can not save any.

@ENTHUSIASTICFIFAFAN that's a different discussion altogether, and I agree that there is no incentive to be productive in Canada. However there is a serious lack of young people willing and wanting to be productive if it entails hard work. There is good money in the trades yet a good proportion of young people are looking for an easy way out, such as being an "influencer".

@ryanoliver9475 I am in the trade. I was in automotive repair and then heavy equipment now. Heavy equipment surely pays better, but I have barely anything left when the 2 bedroom apartment is costing me 2000 dollars a month to rent so I can't even dream saving for a down payment for my own house someway.

@ryanoliver9475 so it is really not fair just blaming on young people when there is no point working hard if all the hard work is gonna get young people to own nothing but just to rent rest of their life and are expected to be be happy. I guess it's natural that the older generation blames young people. They are doing it now to Gen z, and they did to millennium, gen x, and so on because it's just easy to point fingers rather than figuring out why young people are doing what they are doing like for you why young people these days don't seem to value on hardworking. Also, even if young people can somehow save some money, with the housing affordability is where it's at how can they buy home? There's no house within their budget where their jobs are. Unless you drive about 2 to 3 hours away from work. Then, maybe.

@ENTHUSIASTICFIFAFAN so who is supposed to replace older workers when they retire if not young people? How else do you explain labor shortages everywhere?

English please.
