We need to understand that the situation is complex. In the last two projects we carried out, we were dealing with heritage issues. They were heritage buildings, magnificent buildings with land. However, we needed a year and a half to two years for the entire process. There are limits, regulatory procedures, that can't be avoided.
Funds must be available quickly to get the buildings off the market. It's essential to pre-allocate funding. For us, things don't work in the way described by Mr. Barndt. We operate more with funds other than municipal funds, initially, and then we turn to the city.
We must also talk about organizational capacity. Building 100,000 housing units in three years is no small task. I put a lot of emphasis on organizational capacity. Everyone involved with non-profit organizations will reach essentially the same conclusion: long-term funding and community support are needed. Organizational capacity, competence, is essential.
I'm not entirely answering your question, but these points need to be raised. As I said, it's no small task. Construction time frames must also be considered. Existing buildings can be purchased, but since more and more people need housing, construction must also be considered. If all existing properties are eliminated, the middle class will not be able to find housing.
