  2. Renters make up only 34% of the population with the vast majority living in the big cities.

  3. But this is what rent control enabled as they are filling the void left behind by ordinary people getting taxed and regulated out of ownership.

  4.  @dougpatterson7494  <I support a return to 2019 home price levels.> Do you also support a return to 2019 wage levels?

  9. Detroit is far from densely populated. Its decline was due to de-industrialization and race politics.

  10. <Raise taxes on the rich. Put in price controls on rent. Build Government run affordable housing units.> With the rich being your next-door neighbor doing a tad better than you. Price control = Venezuela, we have a new challenger. Only to become poverty, blight and crime-ridden slums within a couple generation.

  18.  @MeMe-cz6pk  Exactly.

  19. <but it is a great example of why we need purpose built rental and other housing options instead of relying on condos to supply rental and new housing.> You have only bureaucracy and NIMBY to thank for why you can't have them. Too costly and/or all but completely illegal to build and maintain.

  20.  @MrMusashiMusashi  <Remember, profits are the only thing these companies care about> Like any other self-respecting company. They're not charities.

  21. Not everyone works from home.

  22.  @icyglam1895  Apparently, most Canadians don't miss Zeller's.

  32. Ruled by greedy socialists.

  33. To the benefit of local Boomers who happen to own some property.

  35.  @sharinglungs3226  And neither will the NDP as they'll probably bankrupt the country like they did the provinces.

  36. About as much as they need to see food availability reduced along with it.
    1
  37.  @Hyperpandas  And too costly to maintain.

  38. You mean the GTA and Lower Mainland have been flooded with immigrants for decades. There are places left to live, but Canadians are too snobbish to consider them.
    1
  39. Not really as Canada has a major household debt problem due to too many Canadians living beyond their means and being lousy with personal finances.

  40. This is the big government welfare state social democracy Canada asked for.

  41. <That will never be used as apartments for long term rentals> Because long-term rentals are no longer viable.

  42.  @fluffytail6355  And the legacy of Justin's step-father lives on. He was the one who made it acceptable for immigrants to not assimilate as assimilation was "racist."

  46. @annzoo2573 While the liberals are taxing the crap out the middle class into poverty.

  47. 3:56 Due to high taxes, government over-regulation and a Canadian culture that frowns upon success and productivity prompting anyone with talent and ambition to move to the US.

  48. <privatize basic human needs, > Which is a good thing since the government has proven too incompetent and wasteful to provide such itself in an efficient and adequate manner.

  49. Canada is becoming the countries many immigrants fled from where repression and regression are the order of the day.
    1
  50. The real reason is because Quebec is allowed to operate as a de-facto country at Canada's (namely Alberta's) expense courtesy of Justin's daddy. If anything, Canada's paying the price for the British being too kind to the French after kicking their * in the War.
