Now, some people in this Parliament believe the problem began in 2015. I did some research. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver charted the price of a single detached house from Whistler to White Rock and from Powell River to Maple Ridge—the entire Lower Mainland. Here are the prices: In 2000, it was $400,000. In 2005, it was $600,000. In 2010 it was $1 million. In 2015 it was $1.45 million. In 2024 it's $2 million.
Would you say that the housing crisis in affordable housing began in 2015, or has this been part of a longer-term trend over decades?
