The ALR bans any and all significant development in BC.
Land is not scarce in BC; land that it's legal to build on is.
- OJFord 2y agoOk - I'm not Canadian, idk what ALR is - I'm just saying what's disagreed with up-thread isn't what, in my experience, is the common claim (whether it's correct or not).
- qball 2y agoThe Agricultural Land Reserve prohibits farmland from being sold for housing development. It's one of the oldest modern NIMBY policies. Most of the land in BC is classified in this way.
- OJFord 2y agoWell that's not obviously bad I don't think? If Canadians want to be mad about pro-farm regulation, they should look to dairy; milk tokens, cheese availability, etc.
