    There’s plenty of things the feds could do to help housing. Instead they implemented programs to fuel demand.

      Like I said – nothing can take place without buy in, messaging and assistance from the US owned Premiers.

        How would the Feds adding a capped capital gains tax exemption on primary homes sales (a la the US) need the Premiers? How about taxing homes 20+% beyond a primary residence like Singapore? Lots of options…

          How about it? Sell these ideas to your local representatives and get the word out! Let’s go!

            Moving the goalposts: first you claim the feds are powerless, and when proven wrong you demand that the poster does all the work instead of admitting that you were wrong. You can do better than that.
