I mean, can they find nurses or construction workers there? I mean, with those average income earners, they can not afford to live there, right??
it's amazing how landlords in this country have scammed so many Canadians out of their money. the entire rental market in Canada is fraudulent. these places are not worth $2000 a month, they're barely worth $500 a month. People need to stop paying these outrageous costs.
Don’t worry Justin Trudeau is making sure there’s a constant backdraft of immigrants willing to fill any hole, closet or tiny apartment left vacant by Canadians fed up.
The landlords are charging what the market will bear; just like you would. They're businesses, not charities. They don't owe you anything and they're certainly not obligated to answer for generations of government mismanagement and incompetence. Direct your anger where it belongs.
If it was a free market, you wouldn’t have these rich landlords lobbying the government to create laws restricting or in some cases completely stopping the construction of new homes.
Governments, banks, insurance companies etc. are all in on rising housing costs. As much as city councilors waffle on about affordable housing their hands always seem to be 'tied' by bylaws that never seem to change in favour of the people. Higher property values = higher gov revenues, insurance premiums and borrowing. The people that run those institutions could care less if you end up on the street

The biggest problem with real estate prices is that REITs and corporate landlords are buying up a huge % of the homes. They end up with near monopolies and can charge what they like. The BC government recognized this and took a small step to correct it by making property tax higher on second homes. But it’s not really the people with a cottage or an investment condo to help cover the costs of their own mortgage that are the problem. The property tax needs to continue to go up with each additional home purchased, so that at 5 or 6 homes it’s no longer profitable to buy more. As interesting rates rose, people who did have one additional home with a variable mortgage are having to sell since they have to pay more than they’re taking in. Who will buy those homes? The big organizations with deep pockets who can afford to ride out losses for a few years in order to make big money later by gouging renters who have no choice but to pay or live on the street. Time for governments to stop the commodification of housing, and to take building more homes into their own hands. They pay the lowest interest rates and don’t need to make a profit, especially not in the short term. As long as they recover their costs, they’re good. This means lots of co-ops, where members buy in with a payment in proportion to their income and pay proportionate monthly rates. That means people of all income levels can afford to live in a community. Every member must contribute to the management and maintenance of the community, but all skills are useful so everyone does have something to offer. There’s a similar kind of housing that can be built in unused office space that can’t be easily converted to individual homes. Small groups of people with common interests can join together to reduce costs and support each other, or be supported. Each person has a large bedroom with a workspace, and there are common kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms. Dementia care or other supported living in family style accommodation is the preferred model. Maybe a few single moms would like to live together so they can live affordably and help each other balance making a living and raising kids. Young couples saving for a home big enough for kids? Single workers who would like some company after work? Students of course. It’s time for creative thinking and urgent action by our elected representatives.
That is the problem with low borrowing costs. These landlords don't really own the buildings and don't have the cash to buy them out. They actually don't want too becaseu of the tax structure adn the bad idea of long term low borrowing rates. Passive income only works if the owner actually owns the building as a asset, not a debt. Depending on low interest borrowed money is bad. Now they ask the renter to pay for their poor investment game. This looks in good times but the SHTF, touble is immediate. The best thing to happen now is still increasing the borrowing rates, then people rent together demanding lower rent rates, with many units staying empty. Then the owner with either have to sell of declare bankruptcy. They lose either way. Then the renters can co-op and buy the building from the banks. This is the only way to break the vicious cycle of feudalism, the bad derivative of corporate crony capitalism.

@@EsoteriaHealing Min wage was 9 only 30 year ago here. Now it's 17- 18 I mean prices can only double when you look at that. When it was $9 Rent was 500-1200 a month depending on how much room and how fancy you need things to be. So when you factor that into things that same place should be 1000-3000 per month
So much crying, just move elsewhere instead of expecting someone else to solve your problem.
this is a crisis that needs to be dealt with.
I agree. But this is a Canada-wide issue now, not just isolated to Vancouver and Toronto.
Where can you move that the price is fair?
It trickles down to everywhere
If everyone moves elsewhere it only increases the prices elsewhere.
Not a justifiable argument... "just move". Canadians don't live in cardboard boxes. Moving is expensive and suitable employment is not a given. Canada is in a housing and inflation crisis. BOC will likely raise rates again in the fall; are you aware of this?
@@onecatsopinionyou’re just trying to take the easy route and making others change bro tf you have freedom to move if it doesn’t suit u just leave we don’t need u
HOUSING IS NOT A RIGHT!
It IS an absolute necessity though
@@ninemoonplanet
But it's still not a right. Even social housing has stipulations on who can get it it and on what terms and conditions.
It’s not but when hard working Canadians can’t afford a home it’s a serious problem
Adequate housing was recognized as part of the right to an adequate standard of living in article 25 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in article 11.1 of the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Housing is a right but land ownership is not.
whats the difference between the rich and poor ? the rich invest there money and poor only save there money , thats the problem .....instead of crying go invest your money into something you can make more money and thats how you get rich ! crying to the government isnt going to work , you have to join the rich class if you want to get ahead any more
So, chose to eat OR invest?
The government made the rich with their terrible policies.

# 4 Sell your car. (Walk. Get a bike, take the bus)
#5 Learn to cook and take your lunch to work (Goodbye $18 Mcdonalds meal🤡)
#6 Quit smoking (you still smoke? Can you even do that anywhere anymore?)
@@gr8tbigtreehuggerYou need to think bigger than that. It's not food thats taking up your budget I bet
This is how housing has gotten out of control. This is how I make money as a landlord. This is how I laugh my way to the bank.
Karma bites back.
@@EsoteriaHealing Does it now sounds like wishful thinking
@@EsoteriaHealing Absolutely true. I paid too much for my condos and houses back in the day. Imo, my tenants had it too easy back then. And now karma is on my side. 🎶🎵We're in the money. We're in the money. 🎶🎵🎤
