Greens and Liberals Unveil Housing Affordability Plans in New Brunswick Election

Both parties propose reforms aimed at reducing housing costs amid soaring property assessments and rent prices.

Green Party Leader David Coon plans to reform the property tax system by tying assessments to rental income rather than property value.
The Greens also propose a rent cap linked to rental units to prevent evictions aimed at increasing rent prices.
Liberal Leader Susan Holt announces a fund to support non-profit and community housing projects, though funding specifics are not disclosed.
The Liberals pledge to build 30,000 homes, implement a 3% rent cap, and eliminate provincial sales tax on new multi-unit developments.
Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs has fewer public campaign events scheduled, focusing on media engagements.
