How does one work with a lobby group on the Real Estate market? - eviltoast

Greetings folks,

As per the question, how does one get involved with a lobby group? Reason for the question is because like most, I’m tired of this property crisis and I really feel we should do what Canada did and cut off foreign purchasing to our real estate industry as this will bring down the pricing of housing and potentially even your rent.

Thanks

    Any reduction in foreign investors will be made up for by local ones. The issue isn’t just that property can be bought by people overseas, it’s that housing is a commodity at all. Ideally the only home people would own would be the one they live in, but to get there politicians would have to not be so deeply involved in the real estate game. Unfortunately for those of us who rent, or who are stuck with a mortgage we can’t afford, this unsustainable housing price increase is exactly what a lot of people want.
