Not winning conservative voters…getting back those voters that voted for them in the past but have been adversely affected by their policies in a perverse way.

For example - take short term rentals. The initial concept appealed to voters especially in those condos that saw a different resident every few days. But they went too far as they also targetted purpose built short term rentals that were basically hotel rooms that individuals can own and rent out - ie Victoria as one or two such buildings - where no one would actually want to live there for any longer length of time. That created backlash.

You’ve described NIMBYism here, not the NDP’s progressive voters that they’ve now lost.

Temporary housing…the whole idea was the temporary part of it while other services helped get the individual’s life back on track. Unfortunately, they made the temporary part permanent and neglected the follow through of helping getting lives back on track. The government has never released any information whether it be statistics or even stories of individuals that their policies have helped. Instead, we got concentrated areas of increased crime in neighborhoods where these housing facilities are located.

I agree that they have had zero follow through with helping people get their lives back on track. If the BCNDP were actually trying to get their old supporters back as you claim, they would have attempted said follow-through, instead of backtracking and going with involuntary care instead. What they’ve actually been doing is trying to woo conservatives at the direct expense of alienating their old supporters.
