The parallel housing journeys Mexico and Canada have been on since the 1990s are now diverging. Claudia Sheinbaum’s government has shown that another path is possible. Canada’s misguided strategies, built around supporting financial and real estate industries, are not our only option. We can draw inspiration from Mexico’s decision to actively restructure its housing system.

    I said 1 in 2 (50%) not 1 or 2.

    Flip a coin,

    • Heads you get an affordable unit
    • Tails you get to live with 5 family members in a 1 bedroom apartment while watching the lucky 50% get nice units

    Or… we could just reduce the price for everyone by simply changing how we tax land.
