government's plan to build 130,000 multi-unit homes 'won't solve the shortage.' The province estimates the initiatives could create 130,000 new, small-scale homes over the next decade.

"Constructing mostly high-rise condo towers or single-family homes means B.C. isn't building enough small-scale multi-unit homes that fit into existing neighbourhoods and give people more housing options that are within reach.''
