Canada bans most foreigners from buying homes
I really don&#x27;t understand why governments around the globe just throw their hands in the air and pretend housing is an unsolvable problem for which they have no obligation to fix.<p>It wasn&#x27;t always like this - in 1922 in Australia we realised there was a shortage of 25,000 homes, so they just made it happen [1]. Why are we so impotent today? Do we just not care enough? Are the vested interests too powerful?<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;FlSIML5aYAAVmvf?format=jpg&amp;name=large" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbs.twimg.com&#x2F;media&#x2F;FlSIML5aYAAVmvf?format=jpg&amp;name=...</a>
