What happened
The city of Kingston is studying housing models used in various European cities. During the study, candidate Stephen Cuthbertson stated that Kingston should establish a municipal agency to build homes, arguing that only government action can provide the needed housing. He noted that many cities in Europe build and operate their own rental housing.

Why it matters
The discussion centers on the role of public versus private entities in housing development. Cuthbertson claimed that the city could provide rental units for less than private developers currently offer in Kingston. This suggests a potential shift in how housing supply is managed locally.
