Kamloops Voter Asks:
What do you see as the single most important issue facing Kamloops right now?
What are your ideas for managing or overcoming this issue?
Housing. At less then 1% vacancy rate there is simply nothing decent available for many of us. It causes stress and financial hardship especially on the young and the old.
Good, affordable housing creates stability in a community which benefits everyone.
All levels of Government need to act quickly and decisively. I think a large stock of Publicly owned housing is the key to this problem. Publicly owned, because it allows us to keep control over the costs and use of that housing. Low income,young families, seniors and special needs have to be priority.
Much better rent controls need to be in place as well.
