The City's mayor made an ambitious claim that they wanted 8,000 new residences built in #Winnipeg this year. We’ve heard different stories and claims that the city is on track to hit that ambitious goal of 8,000 new residences and that Winnipeg housing starts are up. However, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) numbers tell us something entirely different. According to newly released data, single housing starts in Winnipeg are down 23%. Only three other major cities—Victoria, Vancouver, and Hamilton—are worse.
