In 2017, The Canadian government announced that it would allocate C$40 billion (US$31.6 billion) to a national housing plan to alleviate the severe lack of affordable housing. This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

No, I feel us as a country cannot financially support this currently. But I do feel that if the government was to subsidize the building of any homes it should be for Canadian veterans.
The house ownership should be under the government to provide people who have difficulty with housing, and after they finish their usage the house should return to the government to pass to other people that have this kind of issue. Public rental housing, like Singapore.
@B2J3VBF3mos3MO
If it can reduce housing costs within reason, yes. But it could also do more harm than good if prices don't decrease enough.
@B2F9K753mos3MO
No, homes should be decommodified as a majority of homes are owned by companies whose sole purpose is to turn a profit via renting units at exorbitant prices
both housing the homeless and not at the expense of farms or green space
@968NFQD3yrs3Y
Yes to help out people and use of farmland
@93BG3X23yrs3Y
Yes, if it's affordable, feasible, and beneficial to all effected.
@8VXXPB54yrs4Y
build houses as there needed not a lot at once
@8VPHP4Z4yrs4Y
Yes but should build more sustainable housing in low income areas
@8VK8YBQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for residence- no commercial owners or renting.
@8VJ55GP4yrs4Y
No, reforming restrictive municipal zoning will be much more effective to increase housing supply and lower housing costs.
