Housing has become an investment vehicle. This is as insane as making water or air an investment vehicle. All people need a place to live, investors should find something else to jerk off with.

We need a strategy to massively expand non-profit housing in Canada!

PS. Apparently, something like 3/4 of Canada's national wealth is "is wrapped up in real estate" (https://globalnews.ca/news/4775685/canada-national-wealth-real-estate/). What if it was invested in productive endeavours instead!?
