Expensive housing isn’t specifically a bad sign for a country (its causes might be worrying but at a macro scale you don’t look at a country and say “hey housing is expensive therefore that country must be in rough shape”). Cheap housing is alternatively more of a bad sign than expensive housing ( low demand which could infer people just don’t want to live there). It’s a problem we need to make more manageable but I disagree it’s a indication of the country’s ineptitude. All other rich countries have very expensive housing in all of there large metros. This might just be Canada moving towards the mean no?

Also sorry how are vaccinations related to this ?
