  6. <You can't trust the private sector to meet the need for affordable homes because the private sector simply isn't interested.> And they're not interested, because the amount they have to spend on permits and land acquisition in addition to labor and materials makes affordable homes unfeasible.

  7. No. There are not that many short-term rentals to begin with. And short-term rentals are consequences of rent control among other forms of government interference that made long-term rentals too costly to operate and maintain.

  8.  @carlose6010  No. This only applies to Canada.

  12. This is the result of high taxes and regulations on local production and distribution of food. This is how a lot of countries that adopted socialism/communism ended up with food shortages and famine having to rely on imports and aid just to feed themselves.

  14. More taxes = higher prices.

  17. Thanks to high taxes and government meddling.

  18.  @jmela1370  <Why is it stupid> Because ordinary people will be paying for it in the end either by higher prices, less housing available or becoming the greedy RE investors they wanted targeted.

  19. <Shutting the door is not the answer.> Yes it is.

  24.  @kevinroy1736  He was the only PM that bothered to do anything about the GST while Chretien who was elected to do away with it kept it around as it proved too lucrative.

  25. People trying to live a lifestyle their salaries just simply cannot support.

  26. <Abolish the foreign ownership restriction.> Virtually all countries, including the US, have foreign ownership restrictions. The real problem is that Canada is just too vast and underpopulated to support lower prices for domestic travel.

  27. Because Canada has too much ground to cover and the population centers are far from each other.

  28. Because due to zoning laws and high land values, Tridel couldn't build an affordable home even if it wanted to.

  33. And Seattle has no state income tax.

  34. <There’s literally no excuse to have almost our entire population crammed into 2 regions (Vancouver and Toronto)> There is an excuse. Vancouver and Toronto are the only places in Canada deemed worth living in.

  38. <people don't have the funds to grow rheir business.> The bigger the government, the less (economic and personal) freedom you get to enjoy.

  39. It is the government's fault. Their polices enabled and created the problem.

  40.  @josephsmith594  <The US has the same housing problems we do.> Only in the Northeast and West Coast.

  41. Actually government meddling is the reason the housing market is what it currently is.
