In case anyone still wants to somehow debate whether the Liberals will deliver affordable housing.

High housing prices are bad for the economy

Housing prices become high when there is a scarcity of houses in job markets. This means you will have a shortage of labour in those markets because people can’t afford to be there

And if you have a house + are paid well that is still bad for you because there will be less in your area for you
