No party has any teeth in the housing situation. I want reform. I want to make sure landlords are claiming every penny they collect. I want to see expansion of infrastructure for middle class homes and rentals that are affordable. I want to see lower interest rates for first time/single home buyers. I want landlords to pay for not living in the communities that they make poor. I see nothing. Clearly, as a result of the last election, something has to give.
