Restrictions would limit the ability of non-citizens to buy homes, aiming to keep housing prices affordable for local residents. Proponents argue that it helps maintain affordable housing for locals and prevents property speculation. Opponents argue that it deters foreign investment and can negatively impact the housing market.

@9TVPNXW7mos7MO
they should set a limit on the amount of land or properties a foreign investor can own
@B4RSNRN4 days4D
We need foreign investment, perhaps this needs to be tightly monitored for a couple years but in the long term no.
@B4PPBZN6 days6D
Restrict, or at least be heavily examined for money laundering, and be heavily taxed if not occupied.
@B4MZCRF1wk1W
yes and investigate the multiple home owners, including investigations to any potential slumlords (this should apply to any multiple home owners).
@B4LW25G2wks2W
I have two opinion's. 1. My boyfriend is a pipe layer. he tells two things 1. The foreign investors are good but they dont understand the dynamics and budget and make everything cheaper, materials and just cut costs of quality for quantity. and then they jack the rent. theyll take over places in bad condition renovate a few things then, they jack rent and extra 400-800 dollers a month. and its leading to the vancouver and Toronto like prices. on the other side of things its good because it brings money and work. creates homes.
@9RXWPMM9mos9MO
Yes, and ban all foreign investors from buying residential property
@9RGCB9P9mos9MO
Yes but not fully restrict. Just add restrictions.
@9RD5G379mos9MO
Have a fairly steep non-resident tax for people who do not live in Canada
