Episode 64: Matt and Taylor are joined by Orion Rodgers. Orion is the President and a founding member of Property Rights BC from Victoria, BC, which was founded in the wake of the BC STR legislation in October 2023, and have filed legal action against the BC provincial government against said legislation. Property Rights BC is a non-profit association committed to educating British Columbians about their property rights and fostering a community that is informed, empowered, and proactive in protecting those rights.
Orion is here to discuss:
→ What led to formation of Property Rights BC, advocating for property rights and balance in government, and the upcoming provincial election and the politics around housing.
→ Taking the BC government to court over the short-term rental (STR) legislation, the "vested rights" legal argument, and where AirBNB and VRBO are in all of this.
→ The lobbying efforts of the hotel industry to squash STR, how more hotels won't help the housing problem, and debunking the "McGill University" STR study.
