And still no word on any plans to ensure houses are bought by people who don't already own a whole bunch of investment properties.

Until we address that issue, building more will continue to make the rich richer. But this is to be expected of the politicians whose lobbyists consist of real estate investors.

And I'll chime in that yours is but a small part of a multi-facetted problem to be fixed, as is building new homes.

What is disingenuous is selling it as a simple problem that can be fixed quickly and easily.

Not saying you're doing this intentionally but we are notoriously lazy and looking for an easy fix when there is none. I wish politicians would be stressing that more.

I'm starting to think I'll vote for a politician that provides a comprehensive plan addressing multiple of the conditions that got us in this mess. To that I say good luck!
