Regina's housing just hit a new low. What's next for you?

Your housing market just keeps us talking, eh?

This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

*Tânisi* Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, giving you the rundown of what we’ve been chatting about this week from City Hall. It's been a lot about housing, *oh for sure*, and it feels like we're just scratching the surface on this one.

**Still Talking Housing**

We've been looking at the numbers, eh? What's going on with folks trying to find a place that doesn't break the bank? We touched on:

* The rising cost of rent across the city. * Challenges for first-time homebuyers. * The crunch on available properties, both to buy and to rent. * Conversations around how city planning might ease some of this pressure.

It's not just a city hall issue, is it? This is about you, your neighbours on the North Central side, folks in Harbour Landing, everyone just trying to make a life here. It’s a big puzzle, and we're going to keep looking for pieces.

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, for the MiTL Sports Desk in Regina. *Pekiwewin*.
