In Canada that's what it was. They seriously curtailed immigration with the new government, which is starting to lower home prices. It's not sunshine and rainbows though, we needed those immigrants to plug the labour hole the boomers left.

It's not labor that's the problem, it's materials and transportation. I guess everyone just forgot about the fucking trade war
More tradespeople to build firetrap bungalow sprawls is how we get bankrupt munis like Detroit and not sustainable walkable subway utopias like Manhattan.
