There are councillors who are advocating for exiting affordable housing as a city.

I'm gobsmacked.

Have we fallen so low? Just stunned by some of these councillors.

Because this city is about its people: and, to make sure that they are successful -- in business, in starting families and living their best life -- we need to take on issues head-on. #yycHousing

This city has done it before. This is that time again. #yyc #yyccc #yycHousing

Vincent, what are you doing with regards to the housing affordability taskforce recommendations debate at city hall, you ask?

'I'm consistently shocked': Some students in Calgary contemplate homelessness as fall semester begins

Lower vacancies and higher rents are squeezing those with low incomes out of the housing market.

Calgary Herald

Back at the end of April, we were notified that our lease would not be renewed.

At first we were going to look for a new rental. We quickly discovered the rental market in Calgary is inflated, very scarce and full of scammers.
Luckily, we were able to qualify for a mortgage.

It is mind boggling how much easier it was to purchase than rent. There are so many people that this is not an option for. I have no idea what the solution is, but we need to find one #yyc #yycrentals #yychousing
