  1. Housing is not a right.

  2.  @595million9  Pretty much.

  3. Who's no one? It's just old-stock Canadians doin that.
    2
  4.  @krunkle5136  Namely Japan, China and South Korea.

  5.  @piku5637  How about a better idea? Why don't the working class pool up their money and start their own business? Companies have no obligation to keep people employed indefinitely even in the midst of a downturn in fortunes.

  6. Define reasonable.

  7. And you certainly cannot expect lower prices when you don't have the population and density to warrant it.
    2
  8. Doctors don't have as much clout as you think.

  9. What are San Francisco and New York's excuses? Both have rent control, yet their housing crises are the worst of the worst in the US.
    2
  10. For what? Bob Rae's rent control caused a major housing shortage.
    2
  11.  @Sam19509  But thanks to Justin's step-daddy, they're not allowed to move out of Montreal.

  12. Especially if you live in the big city.

  13. China alleviated nothing.

  14. <You can also use Singapores rental model. Controlled by the government and offer 99 year term leases. It made the country extremely prosperous.> Not really. Canada is not an uber-autocracy with limited land like Singapore.

  15. And get your finances in order.

  16. @N Birthed and raised by immature, selfish, entitled and know-it-all boomers.
    2
  17. Pretty much.
    2
  18. Due to not having the skills or smarts to command a better-paying position.
    2
  19. What world? Housing is not a major issue in North Korea or Cuba or China.
    2
  20. They haven't refused to. It's just that all the regulating actually enabled corporate oligopoly by pricing and regulating the competition foreign and domestic alike out.
    2
  21. Just like how it have never been more than to make people lazy, dependent and irresponsible.
    2
  22. Starting with the government and then with Canadians themselves since after all Canada has the world's highest household debt.
    2
  23. Not everyone lives in a detached house. Especially in the cities.
    2
  24. LOL. Did it solve Venezuela's societal problems?

  25. But athletes and entertainers have shorter career spans than teachers. At least teachers will still have a job in 10 years while many athletes and entertainers will be out of the industry by year 5 due to injuries or lack of productivity/relevance.
    2
  26. <Where are governments on this issue???> Collecting revenue from the high rents and housing prices their polices enabled.
    2
  27.  @Forestdwellr  No we don't. And Canada is barely free-market anymore. Government meddling created this housing crisis.
    2
  28. Hmm. Let me see. The country embraced Marxism and everything associated with it including feminism.
    2
  29. <We are a family that makes 130k a year and we still find it hard to live> You're living beyond your means. And welcome to the 11% club as one one of a handful of Canadians making 6 figures a year.
    2
  30. Pretty much.
    2
  31. Like what?
    2
  32. <What happen is that government stop building affordable homes> Which is probably a good thing as those are crime and decay-ridden cesspools.
    2
  33. A product of Justin's father's legacy.
    2
  34. At who's expense?
    2
  35.  @308Fibreglass-hl2on  But 89% of it is owned by the Crown and off-limits to any development.
    2
  36. <If Toronto citizens move to our cities our rents will go up> Just ask Halifax.
    2
  37. Australia already did that and its housing crisis is every bit as bad as Canada's along with being 3rd in homelessness per capita among developed countries.
    2
  38. Better question: how is it fair that money is taken from your working neighbor to subsidize your dental care and electricity?
    2
  39. Because rent control enabled short-term renting, renovictions and corporate ownership.
    2
  40.  @doncorleone2713  <"Hard to house", that means through drug addiction or mental illness they cannot function in domestic environments. > Or just plain old immaturity.
    2
  41.  @ahmunmun725  There really isn't much to know.
    2
  42. Maybe, but it still wouldn't make much of a difference due to shipping and transport costs.
    2
  43.  @junioruncle4378  LOL.
    2
  44. Are you willing to pay living prices for your goods to compensate?
    2
  45. Or Manitoba.
    2
  46. Not before property tax, mortgage, repair and maintenance cost increases, etc. are made criminal.
    2
  47. Tradesman = high chance of getting injured or killed on the job.
    2
  48. No political will, because most politicians and their voter base are property-owners. And there will be hell to pay if property values are messed with. <most people need affordable appartements before they end up on the street,> Namely those who live in the big cities or some other desirable locales.

  49. Enabled by the government.

  50. Meh. Those students are from the upper class of their home countries. They can afford the "unfair" tuition.
