In right now’s The Big Story podcast, there’s no silver bullet for fixing the Canadian housing market, and addressing the difficulty would require an entire slough of brief and long-term methods to alleviate the present crunch, and accommodate future inhabitants development. It does appear as if most governments in any respect ranges are waking up (albeit, slowly) to the truth that actual motion is required to deal with our housing woes, however we’re in determined want of concepts.

Gregor Craigie is the host of CBC’s On The Island and creator of Our Crumbling Foundation: How We Solve the Housing Crisis. “Thirty years ago we had about 60 per cent of our population, but now our overall supply of public housing in this country is only slightly larger than it was when we had not much more than half the population. So, we have not kept pace anywhere near it,” mentioned Craigie. 

So how are different international locations coping? And what can Canada be taught from them?
