Rules
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage: lemmy.ca
Canada needs to adopt a public housing model. It's the only way out of this hole.
Limit how many parcels/properties/acres any one person or business can own.
It would reduce the demand significantly and allow for people to offer less to buy a home when there aren't 15 people trying to buy their fourth rental property.
Limits will always have loopholes:
Open a bunch of small shell companies, each with exactly enough properties to meet the limit
be nice of there were restrictions on corporate home purchasing also
Canada needs to make SO. MANY. CHANGES. Not just federally, but provincially and municipally too.
