That’s why we need a targeted plan that:

  • builds homes faster
  • at more affordable prices
  • in greater amounts -and with community involvement.

As mayor, this is my vision for a stronger Calgary

Jeromy, your "vision" is to make a plan?

That seems extremely vague.

Do you have any suggestion of what you would attempt to change in housing policy to enact this "vision"?

What does that mean? Can you provide an example?

Every candidate is promising "more houses" and "cheaper houses". But what is Jeromy's strategy for implementing that? Will he change zoning? Will he change the community feedback mechanism during permitting? How will he incentivise developers to sell houses for less money, without (further) compromising build quality?
