Your homes are still on everyone's mind, 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 week where, oh for sure, the housing market just kept on coming up. You know, like a good prairie storm, eh? It just keeps rolling in.
**Homes, Homes, and More Homes**
City Council, administrators, everyone around the big table down at City Hall, they’re still really focused on how we’re all living. Here’s the gist:
* The need for more affordable housing options is still front and centre. You can’t drive past the new developments on the west end without thinking about it. * Discussions included how to make the real estate journey a bit smoother for new folks and young families, especially those looking outside the Albert Park or Lakeview neighbourhoods. * There's talk about speeding up permits for new builds, which, *iskwêwak*, would be a blessing for our local builders, wouldn’t it?
It’s all about making sure Regina keeps growing, but in a way that helps everyone find a good place to lay their head, whether it’s a house in Normanview or an apartment downtown near the Cornwall Centre. We all want a good home, eh?
