  9.  @thetruedemocraticnorth  Just like socialism never succeeded without tyranny or foreign aid to compensate for the lack of local industry because the government taxed and regulated it to oblivion.

  10. Yet the private sector is the reason why any housing is built at all. <They are part of the problem increasing the prices.> In response to the bureaucracy that make land acquisition and building costly.

  24. How do you build cheap housing on expensive land?

  26. <use have 370 millions people and they don't have a housing crisis> The US's housing crisis is largely limited to the Northeast, West Coast and Florida.

  27. The only thing that differentiates Canada from the US is Quebec.

  28. Its prices are already low.

  29. What about high taxes and over-regulation which discourage any attempt at improving your financial situation?

  30. And Canadians getting taxed to death to support all that.

  31.  @sgtpastry  <Canada is a capitalist nation...> Being run into the ground by socialist leadership.

  32.  @javiervega1065  That's just how they're raised and taught.

  33. That's just a small price to pay to live in the big city.

  34. <Yet none of you talk about the elephant in the room which is Airbnb and corporate investment.> Because they're the consequences of rent control and tenants' rights (government intervention) that made long-term renting costly.

  46.  @gilliantohver3225  Somalia is a post-communist no man's land. <That is called socialism > Which doesn't even work without capitalism to prop it up.
