The solution is complicated because people can’t agree on the problem.
As with your comment and subject of the article there is plenty of people that are perfectly happy with the housing crisis as long as the remain to the favourable side of it.
This type strategic voting against Liberals and Conservative is how Canada has just alternated between two bad parties for the last few decades.
Progress takes time and it doesn’t mean every single moment things have to go in the right direction. Canada can survive the Liberals and Conservatives for a couple more terms it means some type of political progress.
I think it should be clearer the Liberals has only done things where people pump even more money into real estate.
I really don’t understand why there’s any debate whether they would do anything for prices when the person who was their Housing Minister flipped houses and said investor like him was doing Canadians a solid.
While I agree the answer to the issue is the solution. As I noted it doesn’t seems like people agree on the issue.
As someone who believes:
A) Housing investors collectively have made incredibly large amounts of money at cost of other Canadians.
B) Essentially every single level of government has done little to aid in housing/infrastructure developments. If not outright block them.
C) Given the other 2 issues aren’t dealt with immigration is the only thing that can completely pivot overnight but we’ve only increased it.
I think the biggest issues is that in the last election 80% of voters seemed to think more of the same was okay. To be clear I’m talking about the people who voted for a party who’s housing minister said that investor is helping the situation or the party’s leader said the same or people who couldn’t even be bothered to vote.
You’ll find the Liberals and Conservatives are frequently presented as being a opposite spectrums. When in reality their political goals is essentially just based off of capitalism at a higher level.
Liberals will say that Canadians would starve if we dont treat the Weston’s favourably while Conservatives will say we’d all be walking to work of we don’t treat O&G favourbly. You could also look at how they value people for example both parties would tax doctors out the ass compared to housing investors.
Big thing is that the dev is very active and responsive to feedback. Which is really useful given Lemmy is in its developmental phase for the most part.
Unlike Sync which while good is largely abandoned thses days.
