  2. <The solution is to increase the population> Not just that but build other cities to cut down on the amount of distance between population centers needed to be covered. <Not enough people/customers to maintain enough competition in any industry (groceries, cell phones, airlines, etc. etc. etc) > Along with high infrastructure costs just to cover all the areas of importance.

  3.  @doctorgonzo5358  Blackrock is a thing, because government meddling made housing too costly to build and own leaving only the riches of the rich to take on the task.

  4. Australia somewhat has that and yet its crisis is every bit as bad.

  5. Wrong! Record profits due to record inflation caused by bad government policy.

  6. Bureaucrats and public-sector workers.

  7.  @deke88  Texas doesn't have zoning restrictions and bureaucracy is low.

  8. Not really. It will be affordable when the big city stops being the go-to place for opportunities and services.

  9.  @CynofDeath  <Ignorance is bliss I guess.> Indeed. Including that of those who think every business-owner is a multi-millionaire. <You must really love being cattle.> No. I just hate to inform you that most of the people who will be affected by what you're suggesting are those employed by smaller business that is not in any financial position to pay more than its operating budget can bear.

  10.  @julielevesque2668  Local zoning restrictions are the reason developers build luxury condos and apartments. They're the only high-density housing legally allowed to be built in the city.

  11. They're not building anything at a loss.

  12. The current housing crisis in Canada is happening under Liberal leadership.

  13.  @mstar7520  Also vanity projects and lining their own pockets.

  14.  @compulsiveviewingmaterials  LOL. Please! <Cons are ALWAYS worse.> According to public-sector workers and welfare bums.

  15. <we have the land!> But 89% of it belongs to the Crown.

  16. <And above all, inheritance rights must be abolished so that everyone WITHOUT EXCEPTION can inherit anything, but only up to a SINGLE LIMITED AMOUNT. All evil in the world is based on hereditary accumulation. So we finally remove it!> How about no and you have enough foresight to leave behind something for your own kids?

  17. Pizza Pizza hold its own. Of all the pizza chains, it's the cheapest.

  18. Yet when humanity was at 500 000 000, people still complained about the planet being over-populated.

  19. Thanks to high taxes and over-regulation.

  20.  @Ash_Wen-li  No. We have condos for that.

  21. <capitalism if not for people, it’s for its shareholders! Greed is disgusting> Neither is socialism. It's for the bureaucrats and the privileged. Envy is every bit as disgusting.

  22. Land values and building costs.

  23. Canada is becoming like the oil-rich Persian Gulf countries in terms of gender ratio.

  24. Canada's market just isn't big enough to support more competition much less lower prices.

  25. That is just not going to happen.

  26. I guess I qualify.

  27. Your "tax-the-rich" policies at work.

  28.  @mollyanderson4562  < ignore corporations/investors buying units as an "investment".> They're the reason there's any new building of housing at all. The real problem is local zoning restrictions and NIMBY's which in turn make housing costly to build and own especially within city limits.

  29. To do big business a favor and price the smaller competition out of the market.

  30.  @Geoffzilla  No one could even if they wanted to. Condos are for singles and childless couples. Want to raise a family? Get out of the core if not the city altogether.

  31. Tenants are not the majority anywhere in Canada aside from Montreal and Vancouver city limits.

  32. Voted for by ignorant and delusional citizens.

  33. <This mans idea of a hard days work is talking on the phone and staring at spread sheets.> Conducting business and negotiating deals around the clock and then some. <I know plenty of people working two jobs just trying to get by> Punching the clock, doing as they're told and collecting a paycheque.

  34.  @parkerbohnn  The consequences of Liberal rule. A bankrupt and unrecognizable nation.

  35. Bill 96 turned to be a blessing in disguise.

  36. And progressive politics.

  37. Close the borders first.

  38. Just like only rich people can get a house built.

  39. This is about Canada. F the rest of the world.

  40. 1. Also easier access to money and higher-paying jobs. <4. cost of living goes even higher due to increased demand for houses, transport, (basically resources)> With cities having only so much space to designate for inhabitation.

  41. <Let's deal with discrimination> For what? Landlords have every right to deny housing to those with kids and/or pets.

  42.  @somewhereinagalaxyfarfaraway  They should. Their property, their rules.

  43.  @kellyevans9682  He is to blame for domestic inflation and the carbon tax.

  44. Welcome to being being among the top 11%.

  45. <Every country needs to come into agreement and raise taxes on the rich.> That is not a viable solution. Plenty of countries did that to their own detriment including France and the UK.

  46.  @pickupmidland3523  <and they’ll do more work because they know they have no other options.> Also they're used to working long hours.

  47.  @fluffytail6355  Unfortunately, Canada is too woke and full of self-loathing White guilt for that.

  48. Enabled by rent control as ordinary people have been taxed and regulated out of property-ownership leaving the richest of the rich to fill the void.
    1
  49. Exactly.
    1
  50. Just because it's a basic human need does not make it a right. No one is owed or obligated to provide anything. <A system that must create shortages to create ever higher profits year upon year.> Better that than a system that consistently has shortages because it cannot meet said basic human needs in an adequate let alone efficient manner. There's a reason why socialism failed.
