Calgary city councillors are set to debate a new strategy aimed at making housing more affordable.

Councillors will spend the next two days discussing the proposed new housing strategy, in a public hearing where Calgarians will also be able to weigh in.

The meeting comes in the wake of a recent Housing Needs Assessment report released by the City of Calgary on Sept. 6.

The report, which is published by the city every five years, put forward several recommendations to address what it calls the city's "housing crisis," by making renting and owning a home in Calgary more affordable.

You just know there are going to be a ton of NIMBYs at this thing talking about neighborhood character and whatever else to ensure whatever action is taken is so watered down that it fails to accomplish anything.
