Carney to launch Build Canada Homes agency

[shtferbrains]

Governments invested in housing in the past. It's not sustainable that everyone can afford a new giant expensive dream home.

Housing rose in price in part because of low interest rates and easy money. Investors flooded the rising condo markets. Investors also took housing off the market for short term vacation rentals.

That is almost word for word what you read in some dieing msm media.

Look a little harder Chuck.

Incompetent politicians were supporting those policys and more that are worse to make real estate look like the economy was booming.
More than 1/2 of downtown Vancouver sits empty.
??They aren't vacation rentals.

BC should be one of Canada's stars for real economic activity but lazy virtuous leadership has it in the crapper

It was easier just to launder money for the world.

Maybe they can build their own houses
I did , from scratch with my own two hands and a lots of hard work

But how would enabling private citizens to take the initiative and create something for themselves that they can be proud of advance the socialist agenda?

Ya I can’t comprehend that thinking
build a house , take out a 20-25 year mortgage like most people do and get to work
finally made my last mortgage payment this September .
20 years , me 2 jobs and wife full time
problem is there is a sentiment that all these immigrants get free or cheap housing , sorry that’s b/s
