The great ‘supply' solution to Canada's housing crisis flounders — further
Douglas Todd: To understand why Mark Carney's goal of building 500,000 houses a year won't happen, look to New Zealand and the harsh realities right now of making a profit in real estate. Prime Minister Mark Carney's dogged plan is to 'flood the market with so much housing that prices and rents will fall,' says professor Steve Pomeroy. It doesn't work that way. Photo by NICK PROCAYLO / 10104870A The unspoken maxim within Canadian political circles, I'm told, is that elected officials just can't win when it comes to either public health care or housing affordability.

That's often why, when it comes to the massive files of health and housing, elected officials go out of their way to at least look like they're doing something. And to look like they're being bold. Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has become the latest Canadian politician to boast that he's going to fix things. He's going to make sure 500,000 new homes get built every year. In his May election victory speech, Carney pledged to 'build, baby, build.' It's time, he said, 'to build twice as many homes every year.' With big government subsidies, he envisions establishing an 'entirely new housing industry.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Sounds good. But there are many reasons this isn't going to happen. New Zealand offers a striking, disturbing sign of the times. A signature policy of former prime minister Jacinda Ardern's Labour government in 2018 was to build 100,000 affordable housing units in a decade — with taxpayers funding the way. Alas, the island country had completed just 2,389 units by last year. Renaud Brossard of the Montreal Economic Institute think-tank says: 'If you look at government programs that have been done throughout the world, (the New Zealand example) is probably the closest thing to what Mark Carney is pitching.' You can understand politicians' need for creating the optics of dynamism. But the idea of suddenly cranking up construction to 500,000 new homes a year, through a program Carney calls Build Canada Homes, has always been a dream. Stay on top of the latest real estate news and home design trends. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The target took shape with a 2023 report by CMHC, when it publicly asked: How much housing would we need to restore affordability? The CMHC estimated that, given rapid population growth through international migration, Canada would need 3.5 million homes by 2030 or about 500,000 a year. The trouble is 'this analysis has always been theoretical,' says Steve Pomeroy, a housing industry professor at McMaster University in Hamilton. 'Despite the report's own caveats that such a goal was highly unrealistic and could lead to financial instability, this number quickly morphed into official policy. It's now cited as fact in government platforms and speeches, treated as an unquestionable goal.' There are many reasons it's not about to occur, Pomeroy said, at least not to anywhere near the extent vowed by Carney. They include the availability of construction workers, strains on municipal infrastructure and, most importantly, a cyclical downturn in the housing industry. The potential profits just aren't there right now. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Nevertheless, even though Housing Minister Gregor Robertson won't acknowledge it outright, Pomeroy says the federal government's dogged plan continues to be to 'flood the market with so much housing that prices and rents will fall to pre-pandemic levels.' It's the same goal of the City of Vancouver and the B.C. government, including of the provincial housing minister appointed this week, Christine Boyle, a former Vancouver councillor who has aggressively championed the erection of more residential highrises. Even if the 'flood-the-market' ambition were possible, Pomeroy said, it would lead to 'massive oversupply.' One key reason is Ottawa last year moderately lowered its levels for migration, which is this country's only source of population growth and which has been a huge contributor to demand. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In light of such impediments, consider recent comments by Mark Goodman, a major Vancouver commercial real estate broker, and one of the most outspoken advocates of supply, supply, supply. This month Goodman vigorously defended those in the development industry who are assembling properties and getting areas, especially along the Broadway corridor, upzoned for apartments towers. 'Getting a project approved and into the hands of a builder who can see it through construction should be seen as a positive,' he wrote in this month's Goodman Report. 'Instead of condemning those who participate and seek fair compensation for their efforts, we should focus on the main goal: getting more homes approved, built and into the hands of tenants and homeowners.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Goodman argued it's wrong to view the 'thousands of units that have been approved but not yet built as evidence' of speculation. Bringing a dose of reality, perhaps inadvertently, to Carney's commitment to annually build 500,000 new homes for the next five years, Goodman argued that 'these owners aren't holding land in some evil inflationary plot. They're stalled because there is no way, in this market, to finance those projects: they just don't pencil.' Furthermore, professor Patrick Condon of the University of B.C.'s landscape architecture school, says the mad rush of Canadian cities to upzone property to encourage frantic housing activity is doing the opposite of reducing prices. While the intention seems to make sense on paper, Condon said, it doesn't work to any great extent. Upzoning mostly just encourages land speculation. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. As a result of the City of Vancouver, for instance, frequently upzoning properties with the goal 'to increase supply and thereby restore affordability,' Condon said, 'land values have ballooned by over 600 per cent (since the 1970s). Today, the typical Vancouver parcel is often assessed at ten times the value of the modest structure that sits upon it. A staggering mismatch.' Meanwhile, with prices slowly going down, many of the highrises being approved aren't actually getting underway. Developers are nervous. In the Toronto and Hamilton regions, Urbanation, a real estate consultancy, says 21 big housing developments, amounting to more than 4,400 condo units, have been cancelled since last year, which is the worst rate since 2018. Many were to be marketed to investors, foreign and domestic. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Across Metro Vancouver, according to the Urban Development Institute, the number of unsold condos is set to soar to 3,500 by the end of next year. 'In high-cost cities like Toronto and Vancouver, condo prices are falling as amateur investors disappear from the market. Much of the recent price and rent boom was driven by unrealistic expectations of fast returns, bolstered by rapid immigration and speculation,' said Pomeroy. 'We're already seeing signs of what happens when supply overshoots demand.' dtodd@ Read More Vancouver Canucks Sports Crime Vancouver Canucks Sports
