Canada bans most foreigners from buying homes
I really don'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'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://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlSIML5aYAAVmvf?format=jpg&name=large" rel="nofollow">https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlSIML5aYAAVmvf?format=jpg&name=...</a>
