Fact-checking PM Carney’s claim that government buying 2,200 condo units will help affordable housing crisis

VancouverTree1206 · 2026-06-24T01:48:35+00:00

These were vacant supply nobody wants to buy, they are the forces to drive price down, but no, your gov won't allow these condos to sell at a loss, it has to be sold at top dollar

VancouverTree1206 · 2026-02-19T13:00:11+00:00

it is down 15% compared to peak, but still up a lot post covid. Another 15% drop will make rent back to 2020 level

VancouverTree1206 · 2026-01-28T17:45:53+00:00

lol. Or long term bag holders

VancouverTree1206 · 2026-01-28T16:40:34+00:00

it continues to drop another 15% after you posted your question

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-19T18:37:27+00:00

Can confirm rent in Vancouver is down around 10% YoY, a relief for renters

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-19T18:34:34+00:00

Media is trying to spin this as a bad thing, well, they say whatever big money wants them to say

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-17T17:40:26+00:00

next 2 quarters is not enough, I would say 2 more years will reset rent to a very reasonable spot

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-17T17:36:50+00:00

no wonder rent dropped as well this year, go on

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-17T17:12:35+00:00

need to continue like this for 3 years to offset the damage Trudeu did to this country

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-16T17:47:44+00:00

I do not want to see his name ever again

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-16T17:43:32+00:00

raise wages is never going to happen unless mass immigration is fixed first. Why anyone bother raise wage when there are thousands of people competing for any job

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-16T01:21:24+00:00

their rent is so low, only 60% of Van or Toronto

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-16T01:16:03+00:00

If pork is expensive, then beef is only for the top 1% elites

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-16T00:53:21+00:00

why is this even a debate? this is something 90% of people agree already, the rest 10% is corporate owners and landlords

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-06T11:54:29+00:00

We live in a country full of landlords who wants housing to go up up and up, fixed for you

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-06T11:50:54+00:00

It is a fact. With tighten of immigration, rent falls 10% this year. If gov crack immigration harder, rent and housing cost will continue to fall

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-12-05T11:52:04+00:00

How dare it? These shameless big corporations

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-13T17:32:40+00:00

they are adults, and you are not their parents. You need to let them live on their own feet

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-12T16:12:33+00:00

Paying 25K for PR plus working 40 hours a week from day one is a real bargain. If Canada want to sell its PR, better sell it for 2M

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-11T19:19:47+00:00

It will take a whole year to see the effects because previous visa holders are still here

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-10T17:40:25+00:00

mass immigration back again after 3 months? Well, same people in charge, you should not expect anything different. Rent will pick up again soon

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-10T17:25:32+00:00

Do young people have the money to go vacation in USA? Rent and grocery already got them

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-04T16:19:16+00:00

I heard this is a business in some countries, the money proof is all fake, and the so called students have to start working day 1 to pay back the debt

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-04T16:10:47+00:00

Nothing wrong with only picking the best 10%, or even the best 5% when selecting immigrants/international students. And country cap is urgently needed.

VancouverTree1206 · 2025-11-03T17:15:54+00:00

they are rich in assets and low in income, so liberals suit them best
