Here are some suggestions for improving housing affordability

- Land value tax. This incentivizes more efficient land use, such as building denser housing units (eg. apartments) and less wasted space like giant outdoor parking lots - Tax on non-primary residence - Tax on foreign home buyers - Build more housing. I'm not familiar with Canada, but the U.S has many issues with overly restrictive zoning laws preventing the building of affordable housing. Also public housing gets a bad rep, but it works pretty well in Singapore, Korea, Japan, etc.
