Beyond the Sticker Price: The Cost of Housing

This is the title of the paper I just submitted. It focuses on the issue housing affordability (using Vancouver as an example and case study) and the consequences attributed such as the rising homeless population, including those at risk. It's a little long to post on here, but I will email it to any one if they are interested. I have also been meaning to post a whole lot of links to some recent news articles. They will come in the next few days. Luckily, this topic is very topical at the moment! No shortage of information for anyone who is interested. Although, noticing the source of such info tells another side to the story.

A really great article about the difference one person can make. I don’t often feel inspired in this way, but this person has done something truly special. Also a great article for revealing some simple truths about the housing situation in Vancouver, the ordinary challenges people faces, which provides insight into a complex network that is fraught with complications that leaves many dissatisfied, disrespected and ultimately back on the streets.
