The housing market was in decline long before Trudeau. Are you even sure what you're saying? This stems from a lack of social housing stemming the 1990s, which all came crashing down during Harper's tenure.

The current housing crisis is primarily the result of low interest rates, which have enticed an influx of buyers into the market. Politicians also contributed by making overseas trips to attract foreign investors and promoting newly constructed low-cost housing with low monthly payments. This resulted in an unexpected influx of buyers competing for the limited housing supply, many of whom were motivated by the fear of missing out on a good deal. As a result, demand increased significantly, but there was insufficient supply to meet it. A large amount of equity in existing properties exacerbated the situation, with local governments prohibiting the construction of new housing, resulting in artificial scarcity and rising costs.

Adding to the problem, municipal zoning laws and discretionary approvals have slowed new housing construction, making it difficult, expensive, or time-consuming to build new supply at feasible densities in cities. The situation deteriorated following the COVID-19 pandemic, with a surge in non-permanent resident (NPR) populations caused by colleges increasing international student admissions without considering the impact on local infrastructure. Subsequently, he rapid increase in interest rates to combat post-pandemic inflation, combined with rising construction costs, has made it more expensive to build new housing. The crisis has been exacerbated by a lack of federal funding for social housing since the 1990s austerity cuts, as well as insufficient private-sector rental construction.

The current liberals will not help us, and neither will conservatives. They'll just exacerbate the problem. I'm actually thinking about moving back to the United States because things will only get worse. Might as well live poor rather than live poor and more miserable.

"Liberals will not help us, and neither will conservatives"

Pretty much this. Damage has been done already.

Best option is to move to a different province.

US sucks.

Don’t do that. Pierre won’t help our economy or the spending, and the crime will sort itself out. The one thing they’ll prevent is hard immigration

I’m hoping Trudeau steps down soon. Iirc Alberta Liberal PC is urging him to
