All this would be solved if the left leaders would actually fix affordability. This is the only real reason I see so many voting right. Nobody can afford shit and they blame the left.
The Crown corp and modular homes seems like a pretty great way of adding a lot of affordable homes. I just hope the government lasts long enough for it to actually kick off. It's not perfect and it doesn't solve capitalism, but it will help if executed well.
If I were to bet, I'd say we'll see the effects just in time for an election, and cpc will take over and take the credit.
The cost of homes is mostly land value, which is like 80%-90% in large cities. Because of sprawled zoning, bureaucracy, and greenbelt. Second biggest cost is taxes.
Houses are expensive even in bumfuck no where and the point of modular buildings and wartime measures is that it drops a large amount of the bureaucracy without compromising on quality like deregulating would.
I agree zoning and sprawl are problems though, there isn't as much the feds can do about it as it's more a provincial and municipal concern. The planned high speed rail (a Trudeau thing not a carney thing tbf) along the toronto-montreal corridor should help somewhat reduce the sprawl. As someone who lives an hour east of Toronto, I do wish it was planned to extend to me.
