Do housing prices need to fall? It's the one question that all politicians dodge.
Manage episode 493151426 series 3336966
Canadian politicians are sidestepping the most important – and politically dangerous – question in our housing debate: Should home prices rise, stall or fall? Until we answer it, we can’t fix what’s broken in Canada’s housing system.
In this episode of the Hard Truths pod, our AI host Jenna talks with Generation Squeeze founder, Dr. Paul Kershaw as he explains why politicians continue to dodge the question: They fear backlash from older homeowners whose wealth is tied to high prices and younger owners who risk going under water if prices fall.
