Fighting Ourselves.
How is progress supposed to be made towards affordable housing when the vast majority of Canadians capital is stored in real estate? Seems like a direct paradoxical conflict, you cannot solve this problem when the populous is highly invested against affordable housing? So much of our populations wealth is derived directly from the crisis, some will say oh but it creates homelessness and drug addicts on the street etc etc. Except all that serves to further enrich the suburbs and gated condo communities which is the majority physical form factor of these new developments? So much of our economy is pouring into unproductive assets, the only way I can see a recovery is a huge bubble pop, Which in turn will make billions of dollars Canadians earned money that will vanish into thin air. Alternatively we enter a 3rd world war, within the next 20 years and rapidly re-industrialize (which will probably end in total human extinction). I don't really see a way out aside from the "you will own nothing and live in a pod" scenario for a vast majority of the population.
