Trudeau takes first step to break Canada’s addiction to rising home prices - The Globe and Mail - eviltoast

At last, someone from the world of politics is being honest about a pervasive and harmful trade-off. When home prices rise faster than earnings, owners like me gain wealth, while non-owners lose because their incomes fall further behind housing costs.

Honesty is saying that home prices have to fall. But this is progress.

    Don’t bother debating with this likely troll.

The article also cites continued attention by the government being predicted to cause sales to further cool.
