Wait, aren't you the guy who told everyone that we have a housing crisis because of immigration? Well we massively slowed down immigration and we still have a crisis

We must end the abomination of giving tax cuts to developers and elites so they can own and control our housing market

We'll never solve the housing affordability crisis until we fix the actual cause of the crisis: the financialization of housing and the exploitation of regular folks by investors

How do we stop giant corporations from buying all these housing units and using their control over the market to squeeze every cent from renters?

We were told that taxes, regulations and immigration were causing the housing crisis So, we cut taxes, deregulated and slowed down immigration Why are things worse than ever?

Why the hell should the provincial government be punishing municipalities for the failure of developers? Developers are straight up refusing to build homes, especially affordable homes . And actually they're refusing to build WITH Ford's help Ford should be punishing developers and himself

We are told that the private market is "efficient" and that gov is the cause of the housing affordability crisis Yet the private market is showing us again and again that it is incapable of providing the public with enough housing Gov must step in and do what the private sector cannot do...BUILD!

I kept hearing that immigration was responsible for the housing affordability crisis and if we slowed down immigration, it would solve the problem We slowed down immigration and now developers have stopped building homes Can we move on from blaming immigration now?

Governments have created a housing system with the intent of turning housing into a speculative asset that benefits developers and landlords, and that screws over regular, working Canadians Why are they doing this? Because they are profiteers that benefit from being landlords

I can't stand mainstream media in Canada. It's completely useless This article is a perfect example. I don't have time to write a full critique of all the outrageously awful "journalism" here. But as just one example, the article ends by claiming a false equivalency for the solution to homelessness

Not a single western-aligned person on the list And only one "white" person I wonder if people will ever realize that the ICC is used to pretty much exclusively prosecute African and Middle Eastern leaders, while letting Western leaders act with impunity?

Lack of permitting isn't the cause of the housing affordability crisis. In other words, deregulation and tax cuts won't solve the crisis How do we know? Even builders who have all the necessary approvals are still refusing to build

It's hard to get anything built because we are relying on developers who only care about is maintaining their control of the housing market via artificial scarcity while extracting massive tax cuts and deregulation from the rest of us Developers are holding us hostage

The analysis in these remarks is completely wrong, and the omission of the actual cause is so egregious that it must be deliberate The private sector has led us into a housing catastrophe Developers are now holding us hostage by refusing to build unless they get even more tax cuts & deregulation

We are seeing the collapse of a massive speculative bubble that was over a decade in the making This speculative bubble was driven by investors, developers & successive govts implementing tax cuts and austerity that made investors, developers & lobbyists filthy rich at the expense of the rest of us

The housing affordability crisis wasn't caused by high taxes Developers & their paid propagandists would have us all believe that we have to cut taxes on their industry and deregulate it They are refusing to build unless we give them what they want. They are holding us hostage

Unfortunately, this analysis is incorrect The cause of the housing affordability crisis is the conversion of housing, from a basic human need into a vehicle for financial speculation, which is controlled by a concentrated developer industry that conducts dirty backroom deals with politicians

Most important takeaway from the PBO is summarized by the Toronto Star below Now, can we finally move on from the ridiculous lie that immigration is responsible for the housing affordability crisis? The real cause is the financialization of housing and the artificial scarcity created by developers

Developers will NEVER be satisfied until we remove all taxes and regulations that govern their behaviour They don't give a single fuck about our communities, and politicians at all levels have to stop catering to their bullshit whining about needing their industry to be subsidized by taxpayers

This is extremely frustrating! Newmarket has voted overwhelmingly for Doug Ford in three straight elections.....Doug Ford, the same guy who has made secret, and not secret, deals with developers to empower them to do whatever they want to our communities

Developers & investors don't give a shit about workers, or everyday Canadians who need an affordable, acceptably sized home to live in, and they don't give a shit about our communities If they did care, they wouldn't have financialized housing and created a huge spec bubble...which is now popping
