The City of Regina’s administration has put a price on what it would take to end homelessness.
The city said in a report that the city would have to increase taxes by 21.73 per cent in 2023 and by 4.24 per cent tax rate in 2024.
The increase would result in $487.08 annually in 2023 and $142.80 in 2024 for the average homeowner.// I guess all the homeless can move to Regina now because the city will look after you

Solving homelessness is expensive. Not solving it is also expensive. So let’s include it in the draft budget so it, and other items, can be debated. Then we can get it on record that the mayor and certain councillors would prefer building a baseball diamond over pursuing the housing first policy they all have promised.
