The Price of a Door: Market vs. Non-Market Housing

from Nonpartisan Hacks · host Joel Grenz and Sean Wood

In this milestone 10th episode, Parksville councillors Sean Wood and Joel Grenz break down one of the most talked-about issues in local government: housing. What’s the difference between market and non-market housing? Why is non-market housing so hard (and slow) to build? Who actually pays for it? And what does the “Vienna Model” have to do with any of this? From permissive tax exemptions to project delays at BC Housing, this episode pulls back the curtain on how housing decisions actually get made—and who carries the cost. Featuring a fiery quote from Courtenay councillor Wendy Morin and a potential idea for how BC builds homes. Whether you’re a taxpayer, tenant, policymaker, or just housing-curious, this episode is for you. 👉 Subscribe, rate, and review on your favourite podcast platform.
