In a small way, it was a return to the way governments used to deal with affordable housing. An announcement of 37 sites from the provincial land inventory that could be used to build housing, including affordable housing, for thousands of Nova Scotians. Progressive Conservative Housing Minister John Lohr said "While there is still work that needs to be done on these sites, we know communities across the province need housing and this inventory now gives more options to increase supply." But they will be "affordable" based on a percentage of the market rate and they will be built by developers who are already busy. And that may not move us quickly enough to address the housing crisis according to Jill Grant. She is Professor Emeritus, School of Planning at Dalhousie University. And she weighs in on some of the changes made in the 1990's that are still affecting the housing stock in Nova Scotia.
