If we implement affordable housing more people can spend more money on consumer goods, thus bringing an era of prosperity to Canada.

what the opponents are argung is that it's a lot like ubi - give everyone a universal basic income (or something like that, in this case affordable housing) and there's literally no difference from giving them SNAP or other food stamps, in the case of the united states. the argument i'm trying to make, however, is that government needs to be able to control for market inefficiencies (this is particularly true in the case of medicaid, which, as a single-payer system is more effective than multi-payer systems in general.) government involvement needs to be minimalized except to… Read more

I agree, but it is important to note the systemic problem that the housing market is only so big and so expensive because of both inflation, and how within cities and provinces there, a specific rules that prevent multilevel housing plans to preserve “aesthetics”

We can always afford it - the issue seems to be in prioritizing peoples lives over police and military funding, and solving the country's debt. If not now, when? How bad does it have to get?
@9FHGTB91yr1Y
Yes we can, by reducing funding for less important issues and putting all that money towards affordable housing.
We dont have enough money to afford these houses so we should put more money into other ways that'll help our economy. We should also save our money for the next few years and control our immigration rates so we don't have to worry much about the limited housing.

Investing in low-cost housing can also appear high-priced upfront, however, it gives long-term monetary advantages via job creation, decreased homelessness costs, and expanded neighborhood stability. It's strategic funding in each financial increase and societal well-being.

If you can afford to pay high salary wages for government officials, surely you’d be able to implement a good amount of our money into making homes affordable and so Canadians can get off the street and can support their children.
Why cant we afford it if we are working and are making the same amount of money as the person who already owns a house.
@9F5C2JH1yr1Y
Stop spending as much money on foreign aid and other non-essential spending, and reinvest the money into building more affordable housing.
@9GKCNRH1yr1Y
You are allowing thousands of people to go homeless due to the fact you think its a good idea to throw money at your problems
@9F5VDJP1yr1Y
We cant afford to have a majority of people that have jobs that pay a above average salary not be able to afford housing, which could decrease our economy in other areas besides housing. I believe if we were to limit affordable housing prospective citizens or regular citizens will look elsewhere to live besides our country to settle meaning their tax that they bring in to their country would diminish.
