The 14 issues where the Greens are most closely aligned with the NDP:

HOUSING

Liberals: The B.C. Liberals’ plan to make homes more affordable relies on the party’s promises to create high-paying jobs in technology and to streamline building regulations so that developers can build more multi-family dwellings faster.

NDP: In its platform, the NDP said it will build affordable housing, raising funds with a two-per-cent tax on property owned by people who pay no income tax in B.C. The party also said it would extend the current foreign buyers tax to condo pre-sales.
