In this episode, Ryan explains how years of municipal mismanagement, inefficiency, delays, bloated payrolls, and poor decision-making have created a crisis that is now being dumped onto homeowners, landlords, renters, and businesses across HRM.
He breaks down:
Why a 10.5% tax hike is unprecedented
How commercial buildings are taxed at triple the residential rate
Why housing costs keep skyrocketing
How fees, delays, and bureaucracy choke development
Why government crews operate with zero efficiency
What accountability should look like
Why silence from industry is no longer an option
If you live in Halifax, own property here, rent here, or build here — this episode explains exactly why everything feels more expensive… and why it’s going to get worse unless something changes.
