Single Unit housing should be purchasable in personal name only.
Also why the fuck are foreign companies allowed to buy housing?
The provincial should implement a one house/apartment for each family. Then those who own more than 3 should be forced to sell.
Want to see a government get voted out so fast you’d hear a sonic boom as they exited office? There you go.
Cry me a river landlord your profits margins need to go. Housing is a human right.
Sure. But not in the most expensive market in Canada. Get your human right housing in the middle of Canada somewhere.
No all Canadians deserve the same chance to live anywhere they want in the country.
lol. Enjoy your dreamland. Never going to happen.
You need to be regulated. You do not deserve the privilege you have.
So salty. Pity.
What it doesn’t say is: who IS buying these homes? Someone has to, it else they’d stay vacant until the prices dropped. Why don’t they say?
The issue is not who is buying as much as why is the government not simply increasing the supply to match the demand. Why? Because then it would affect real estate value and those invested in real estate only want to see their invest increase in value. That said, those invested have done a bagger of a job making people think it is immigrants causing the issue. It is not. It is the lack of supply and there is no relief coming as that would mean prices work fall and big money controls the government not the voters.
I’m not sure how you simply increase the supply. Can you explain?
It was a crisis a decade ago…
It is a tragedy not a crisis as Vancouver, BC and Canada could easily solve it by building a lot more homes, some public.
- Ban corporate ownership of single family home and plexes. If they want to rent something out, they can buy/build appartment complexes. If a corporation is found to dodge the ban through a citizen proxy, crackdown hard. After multiple infractions, seize the home.
- Change zoning laws to allow denser housing.
- Crackdown hard on short term rental.
- Build more public housing. Simple, clean and basic housing.
Really? This is news? No fucking shit
