Regina's homes are too pricey. What's City Hall doing?

Your city hall talks are all about homes, 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 everyone's got houses on the brain, eh?

We started off the week talking about some new forecasts that might affect everything from property values to how much we'll pay to keep the lights on. Then, we dug right into the big one: why homes here in the Queen City are feeling a little too pricey for a lot of us. It’s not just talk, either.

* Property values are still a big concern for many families.

* We're seeing some interesting shifts in the market, making it tough for first-time buyers.

* There's even a new podcast floating around, talking about making real estate more accessible for *toute le monde*, which, oh for sure, is important.

Seems like no matter what, the conversation always swings back to where we live and if we can afford to stay there. It's a big deal here, and City Hall needs to keep hearing it.

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

Catch me every morning on mornings.live, eh?
