By the time a $14,000 or 315.000 This comes as no surprise to us, as OHC lquite justifiably we feel) has placed a $9.000 ceiling on the price it will pay for serviced land.

Suters replied that there should be 60,000 housing starts in Ontario per year and OHC hopes to provide 12,000 "of them.

" Magee declared last week that government legislation and zoning by- laws practically guarantee owners of vacant property an increase in land values of $1,000 per housing site every year With land inflation spiraling at this rate. how does the Ontario govern- ment ever expect to solve the housing crisis? Dr. Magee said one of the answers would be tn assess and tax land at its market value and tax buildings at half value to force property owners tn put their land on the market at reasonable prices. Until the Ontario government wak- es up and faces these facts of life. "Nome Ownership Made Easy" will remain a sham. In short, the HOME. program, so tar as atypical Metro resident is con- cerned, remains a total farce. If the housing problem is evpr to be solved, the ridiculously high price of building land in and around the Metro area must come way down. According to the economist, thou- minds of acres of prime building land are tied lup because of governmental red tape and the lucrative returns awarded those who hold land for sptyuletion. Unquestionably a wage earner in the $5,500 to $7,500 bracket could manage $120 to $140 monthly pay- ments on a $7,000 house, but the $170 to $190 payments on the Rramalea house offered for 824,000 is much too great.
