He also admitted his government 'did a poor job explaining' the plan. In this video, I break down what that number actually means (and doesn't), how we got here, why government is stepping in instead of letting the market work, the bank exposure angle most coverage missed, how a near-identical Ontario program already published the details BC hasn't, and what it actually means if you're buying or selling a home over $2 million in 2026. I walk through the real numbers: the $1.45 billion ceiling figure, the $3.2 billion in development charge relief, the bank exposure angle most coverage missed, and the open questions housing analysts and local mayors have raised about cost and occupancy. Then I answer the question that actually matters if you own or want to own a detached home here: which housing market are they even talking about? If you're relocating to Vancouver, upgrading, planning an equity cash-out sale, or just trying to read the market — and the policy — correctly before you make a move, this video is built for you.
