- Halifax is in flux. A changing housing landscape has brought both hardship and fortune to its residents, but the good news is that this change still allows for the opportunity to create a more equitable future.
Watch the last part in our Housing Series to learn about the relationships that exist within the housing system, and why it is so important that to chart a new course we must be willing to challenge conventional housing policies.

I appreciate the depth this video tried to achieve - despite the complexity and nuance of the topic. Well done covering a hard topic! One of my personal concerns is that the issue of affordable housing (and the harms it causes the most vulnerable to affordability) often overlooks the environmental impacts of the current development model. Environmental impacts are harming the most vulnerable even more, and are resulting in feedback loops. When these two topics are separated, they risk jeopardizing what would be a more obvious and legitimate conclusion.
Build up and build more. Lower the price of the average unit by over-supplying the amount of units available. Build 20,000 units per year for the forseeable future. Now is the time to look ahead and build. The municipality, and especially the urban area, are going to grow. The Centre Plan is great, but it only accounts for a small portion of the built up landmass. What about people in Bedford, Clayton Park, Cole Harbour, Lower Sackville, Spryfield, et cetera who also live in an urban setting? Don’t they need a plan to grow too? Hmm. The municipal government really needs to realize that the built up area extends much farther afield than the Halifax Peninsula and parts of Dartmouth.
A georgist land value tax could really help Halifax and Nova Scotia as a whole because it could bring investment and jobs to the city without displacing people.
I found this video to be dark, dreary, heavy, not representative of Halifax at all.
