针对大多伦多地区包括万锦市房价飙升的情况,省政府最近公布的16条房屋新政措施究竟会产生怎样的影响?房屋的可支付性问题将如何得到解决?
万锦市渔人村居民协会和万锦市副市长许正杰(Jack Heath)将于5月6日上午举行房屋论坛,探讨省政府房屋新政的影响以及如何解决房屋的可支付性问题。

万锦市渔人村居民协会会长萧振华说,住房的可支付性目前是媒体关注的重要议题。房屋的价格变得高不可攀,对很多人来说,甚至连公寓也支付不起。服务行业工作人员是健康社区的重要组成部分,但他们很难找到支付得起的住房。居民们感到绝望:他们的孩子离家后将永远没有能力在他们所在的社区居住。在万锦,我们仍在讨论是否允许房屋中的独立套间(Secondary Suite)出租和是否允许分租。约克大学万锦分校也将需要为数千名学生提供住宿。万锦也几乎没有专门为出租而建的住房。
满地可银行经济师、地产发展商remington销售副总裁、安省政府房屋处经理、约克区政府总计画师、万锦政府计画师、新市(Newmarket) 副市长及约克区房屋总经理等政界和政府专业人士,将在论坛上解读安省高楼价现状、省政府房屋新政及影响,三级政府对高楼价及房屋可支付性的策略或方案。
