How is it bs?

The first time homebuyer is screwed.

Those who already own properties like you are alright as you sell and get alot of equity




That's BS. The media full court press to kill the market. When they succeed I don't want to hear anyone crying about affordability cuz they won't even have jobs.

They need to start the crack down on housing complexes in the outer 416.

It's BS because it is headline grabbing nonsense just like they did with running stories that rents were doubling and tripling everywhere when it was just a few landlords that did it. What did it get us? Stupid rent control rules which pushed rents UP and made rentals even more unaffordable.

The article i smisleading. There are many factors that play a role in affordability. Are we talking 5% down or 20? What is the credit history, what areas? A detached house in a world class city isn't cheap anywhere.

Cost of living in Toronto has gone up considerably and it's not just housing. One of the bigger problems is wages being stagnant for decades. Canadians are generally underpaid but get raped in taxes. Do you know what it feels like to pay land transfer tax twice when you buy property?

These articles will only embolden the group of entitled people who feel home prices should be cut in half "just because" but won't evne look at all the other things that make housing unaffordable.

Just my 2 cents.

he disappeared into hiding as soon as his identity was publicly revealed, he got death threats on his back, most likely from antifa or militant anti-racist organizations.
