Greatest Improvement: 1, Thamesville Herald, 2, Elmvale Among ten , various plans advanced as solutions to Can- ada's growing housing crisis, none is more popular than the idea of new satellite ci- ties. The appeal ofstarting af- resh, building anew with mo- dern coneepts and a modern approach, is so popular that one aspirant for the prime mnister's office - Paul Hefly- er has made satellite cities a chief plank in his platform. Mr. Helleyer is not without, a great deal of experience in this field. He has headed un companies whic have built some of the largest and most successful housing sub -divis- ions in Taranto. But until the problem of land assembly; the high', cost of mortgage money, and ex- oessive taxation are solved, there is little hope that even satellite cities vvill ensure Canadians of continuing to be a nation of home buyers instead of apartment dwel--. Just as there are •three chief economic groups within Canada — the porr themici- dle ineome and the rich — there are going to have to be, individual selutions for each of these categories. The breakdown in a Cana- da's ' housing industry. 'today is due to the uae of methods and policies which are ade- quate only for the rich, or at least the families with ins comes far above the national average of $5,000 per year. For the poor, the Govern- ment is going to have to sub- sidize public housing on a much larger scale than at present. This will mean ad- ditional tax burdens on the average wage-earner. Only three percent of Can- ada's housing production is devoted today to low income, subsidized construction, be it row houses or apartment un- its. The concept of single fam- ily dwellings on private plots of land will soon become, under present economic con- ditions, nothing but an empty dream for all but the top ten percent income bracket. "The single family dwel- ling," says Calgary architect Martin Cohos, "may continue bo be the logical abode for the rich and almost -rich of Canada, but for those of av- erage means it has become a fleeting dream." Yet, the fact remains that the housing industry is cap- able of BUILDING homes in the ten to $15,000 category... and thus seemingly within reach of most families. being tainted out in several Canadian, cities in this price category. The stumbling blocks to their wider accep- tance remain the confusing array of differing building regulations in Canada's 2,000 municipalities, the high vest of serviced building lots, and rising mortgage interest rates. While housing is a provin- dal responsibility in Canada„ most citizens look to Otta- wa's National Housing !act as their chief hope of relief of rising housing costs. The NHA rate is now peg- ged at eight and five-eighths _BURNS CLEANER No SMOKE, NO ODOUR HEATING OIL Walden & Broadfoot Phone 527-1224 Stator*. percent. Private, non-NHA mortgages which are requir- ed for more expensive houses, are expected to hit nine per- cent this spring. It is the Covernment's idea that by allowing the interest rate sof mortgages to -float freely in the money markets, more fun; would be attrac- ted, ma ng possible con- struction of more houses. But the • danger is that, the rate will go so hight that peopas ania halving bons - es, with the result th,At even foarr homes would then be A possible alternative is for the Government - and that means you and me - to subsidize interest, rates. The house' buyer would- be assur- ed of a maximuna rate of, say eight percent. If the going rate was 10 percent, the len- ding institution would . pick up the difference from the Government. This would, in feet, mean that Canadians would be subsidizing banks and life insurance companies through their taxes. Other, and more attractive alternatives, would be toal- low house buyers to deduct their municipal taxes and in- t er es t paid on mortgtges from their taxable incomes. These- two steps, along with. abolition of the 11 percent salea tax on building mater- ials, would materially lower the cost of buying and main- taining a home. If such steos are not taken. Canada has no hope of remaining a nation of home owners. I• .
