WATCH LIVE TONIGHT: Are measures to improve housing affordability in B.C. working?

Watch and submit your questions to our panel of housing experts as they discuss the state of real estate in British Columbia

Metro Vancouver desperately needs more housing.

Local, provincial and federal politicians have talked about ways to fast-track projects and, in some instances, passed laws aimed at fuelling a housing boom.

The B.C. government, for example, legislated increased density and housing targets for municipalities more than a year ago, over the objections of some councils.

The goal was to stabilize prices and boost construction.

Is it working?
