This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.
All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.
Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.
A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.
Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

The solution to the housing crisis isn't difficult or unknown and our govts (CA also having one) can afford to try fixes until something works.
The issue is the stranglehold that the upper class holds us in. We'll keep getting trickle down "fixes" until the sun burns out.
I'm sure a solution, to divest the wealthy of their power in a way that is both fair and nonviolent exists, but to pretend that is a realistic pathway is... Naïve.
The unhoused die every day, but we don't treat that as the fault of the class that controls the housing?
sure. you put a lot more effort into this comment than the one i replied to. i didn't say it was wrong, just lazy.
The fact that a solution is simple doesn't mean that it's lazy.
Fair enough, carry on
