Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
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
Canada needs to make SO. MANY. CHANGES. Not just federally, but provincially and municipally too.
