Better than nothing, but I'd prefer to ban or limit companies, be it foreign or not, from buying all those homes and flats.

there are precisely two things that cause the housing crisis in north america:

  • companies buying up thousands of homes for rent

  • stupid zoning laws

unless you tackle these two, housing will be really expensive and/or shitty, you're welcome canada 😘
