This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.

All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.

Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.

A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.

Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

Policy makers don’t need to be homebuilders - as long as they listen to them and learn what works for the industry. The new entity they’re promising seems to focus on ‘affordable housing’ which means publicly funded housing rather than being focused on resolving ‘housing affordability’ as a whole. But it will help supply regardless.

I bet Mark Carney can’t build a house.

A screw fell off the faceplate of a light switch the other day, and I put it back on. So yeah, I think I can build a house, alright.

Bits and pieces of it but definitely not the whole thing.
