With the help of public funding… Projects like this are better than nothing and this is not a criticism of this specific project but a) they are only scratching the surface, b) are essentially a hand out to private interests, and c) continues the commodification of housing, which will result in housing prices continuing to rise at unsustainable levels. When it comes to affordable housing, at the least, we don't need private interests involved in the ownership of them. Doing so and commodifying housing was a purely neoliberal ideological decision made by governments at the behest of the ownership class and is the main reason why housing is so expensive today. Don't make me re-litigate this entire thing because I've already explained it. Its on you if you still don't understand.

Oh God. Thank You man. Thank You so much for showing how out of touch with the programs and realities you really are. RHI Funded projects do NOT have any private Ownerships involved. They are 100% Owned by Non Profits. FULL STOP condition of funding.

Take a moment before you keep spouting off and Educate yourself to the programs that the Federal Government has in place before you go off on a Tirade of "commodifying" housing.

You have no concept of why housing is so expensive other than your flawed ideological beliefs vs founded in actual realities of costs.

Arwel Living and Avana Homes are non-profits?

I am sick of your dismissing of my knowledge of this subject. It is extremely ignorant and elitist. You are clearly emotional and reacting to people not agreeing with your worldview. Why don't YOU tell us why housing has become so expensive? If you are saying its because of zoning, well, that is purposely being restricted in order to keep property values high so it benefits both existing home owners and those who own rentals.

I guarantee you I know more about this topic than you think I do.

youre very comment is far more elitist and ignorant than anything I've said. You are wonderful at deflecting the facts in my comments and just spinning it around in hypebole.

Answer my questions, please. If what you are saying are indeed facts, bring the receipts.

5th and Angus is ground zero for crime and structure fires in Regina. There is more crime and fires within 3 blocks of this location than anywhere in Regina. I wish them luck. I guess you need to start somewhere to clean up a neighbourhood.

You can only "clean it up" one of two ways: moving socioeconomically-disadvantaged people, and thus the issues, elsewhere (kicking the can down the road), or resolve the root causes of those socioeconomic issues (using power to solve problems). We all know which route will be taken.

No Pleasing the Master eh? Isn't investing public money in the midst of the area a step to working resolving the socio economic issues? In addition to the plans Cowesses have and Piapot also have on their urban reserve lands directly to the south?

It doesn't change overnight. Its a step in the right direction, the first significant investment that starts to address some of the issues in North Central in who knows how long.

I was referring to Stormer’s comments about crime in the area.

Btw I’m still waiting for you to answer my questions from 10 days ago.

Its great to see this one finally getting closer to being completed. Over a year late, but better late than never.

My concern is long term how a building like this stands up. Modular Construction is notoriously cheap. A good example is all the modern modular apartments that have been built in Regina, not even 10 yrs old and starting to look like a dogs breakfast.

It's affordable housing. If you build it like the Taj Mahal, you will get much less of it. It is a lot better than those ridiculous sea can projects they are doing elsewhere. Those make little sense to me.

I agree in respect to the seacan projects. Those are ridiculous. BUT 7.75 Mil from the Feds. I can only imagine the province is kicking in something too. approximately 300,000/door by the time the dust settles, that seems to me like more than a market project costs to build. If its supposed to be rapid there is a benefit I suppose, but it doesn't seem too rapid to me, AND if its got a useful lifespan of 10-20 years, vs a traditional build, isn't that just kicking the problem down the path for another generation to deal with vs providing real long term housing solutions?
