New mapping effort pinpoints housing opportunities
This should be housing aims to crowdsource help for unhoused people in Halifax.
The next time you’re wandering Halifax and come across an abandoned building or empty piece of land, put a pin in that thought: With your help that property could become an affordable place for people to live. This should be housing is a brand-new collaborative mapping project that invites residents of the HRM to create a public database of vacancies in the city landscape.
“I’m sick of seeing the government pass the baton between themselves,” says Lorax Horne, creator of the mapping database that launched Monday. “We have a Liberal mayor, a Liberal premier and a Liberal prime minister, and they can’t blame each other for not doing anything.”
