* streamline and fast-track their development processes to meet pent-up demand by reviewing the ideas suggested in the BC Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s 2019 Development Approvals Process Review ;
* support more residential development near public transit, K-12 and post-secondary educational institutions, and employment and recreational opportunities; and
* provide incentives to developers to build the types of homes that more consumers are looking for as commuting patterns and working arrangements evolve due to COVID-19, which may include alternatives to single family homes and homes which accommodate residents who would like to work from home.

Given that the state of emergency and the residential tenancy restrictions seem intertwined, the issues appear to be muddled. Clearly separating the two issues and being crystal clear on their start and end dates will reduce confusion and will lead to more considered decision making on the issue of the residential tenancy restrictions.
