Nova Scotia committee hears housing crisis isn’t just a Halifax issue
“. . .
Claudia Chender, NDP MLA for Dartmouth, said the subject of affordable housing is normally only spoken of as an urban issue but it applies to all areas of the province.
‘From where we sit this really seems like something that is being overlooked,’ she said.
. . .
Chender also raised the subject of short-term rentals, such as Airbnb or other similar applications.
Chender said the debate has often focused on the municipal regions of the province and ignored the effects on rural Nova Scotia.
‘They are all identifying that also as a serious pressure, particularly when it comes to having housing for those who are working,’ said Chender.
