Apparently the "free market" can solve its own problems.

Make living in one place too expensive and people will leave, meaning those landlords (and others who are overcharging and excessivley profiteering) will suffer or be forced to lower prices.

.

Or maybe, an unregulated free market isn't the most effective way to run a society...

Perhaps that is true, but there is no market not regulated in Canada. And housing in particular is one of the most regulated markets around.

What is your intent for this hypothetical tangent that does not logically follow anything else found here?
