The big problem with Canada is you can't work your way out of it.
Say 5 years ago you had $120k take home.
That was ok vs housing costs, not great, but ok.
Now fast forward 5 years prices are up 50%.
So you ask your boss for a 50% raise. He agrees.

yeah I did consider saying 10 years!
whatever the number the point is, as you say, housing is no longer attached to wages.
Housing is simply defined in terms of other houses, new entrants are forced to take on crazy debt to join the swap party. Those who bought in at reasonable prices have a totally different disposable income.
I think it's fair to say that despite having a top 5% job I have the disposable income of a new teacher who bought ten years back.
And with high marginal rate every 50k more I earn I only see 25k of it, and housing goes up by more than that per anum!
I'm certain if the Fed can hold rates this high or higher for any period of time, Canada will have a big crash.

I think the big problem is that Canadians are well educated compared to many nations. Certainly compared to Americans.
However they are very literal. They don't understand sarcasm. They are what I'd call "book smart".
They read a book about econ 101 and they say to themselves "now I know this". They read a newspaper article about how Canada has "strong regulations on housing", how prices will "only go up" and they absorb it whole. This is the only explanation I have for how prices have gotten so out of hand vs wages. They are too trusting, too happy to latch onto the simplistic explanation.

The big problem is a combination of supply and demand

on the supply side we simply are not building enough housing in this country. The cost of building is far too fucking high, a large component of which is city/municipal development charges. Because the cost of building is so damn high, the only buildings that get built are "luxury" condos because the incremental cost to go "luxury" vs "affordable" is not that high once you've got all the other costs out of the way and is the only way you can make even a meager profit on new development. That's also why the only purpose-built rental housing in this country is either 50+ years old, or brand new "luxury" product priced at $3-4psf. There's far too much NIMBYism in major cities to solve the supply side of the housing crisis. We also have absolutely retarded, counterproductive rent control in most provinces that completely kills any incentive for development of new purpose built rental housing. Luckily in Ontario we have no rent control on post-2018 units but that will probably get fucked at some point in the future as well

on the demand side we're pretty open about our desires to backfill all productivity loss and domestic outflow with immigration and foreign students. The targets set through 2024 are the highest ever and for that reason Canada is projected to have the highest population growth in the G7 (on a % basis). Because Canada is effectively 3-4 viable cities (Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver) and a bunch of wilderness, all of these immigrants pile into these 4 cities, which of course for the reasons described above have minimal supply to absorb this influx of people

of course people love to blame landlords because they're the ones most people directly interact with in a negative way, paying them (well below market) rent for their rent-controlled apartments. Of course anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together understands how stupid this argument is, but most Canadians clearly do not.

Eat shit, faggot. Most renters in Ontario live in rent-controlled buildings where the government only lets you push rents on renewals 1-2%, which is WELL below the cost of maintenance. You can get away with AGI's but those are a hassle as well. For 2023 the rent bump on renewals is 2.5%, while we operate in a 5%+ inflationary environment. That means margin compression since your cost of operations are going up at inflationary rates but you can't pass it along to your rentoids paying $1,000/mo in a market that commands $2,000/mo+

the cost of the home is the materials + labour + land.
materials are what they are, it's a global price
labour, okay it's a western country, it can't be that low, plus labour needs housing, which is high.

land - this is the variable part. when money is basically free people borrow insane amounts.
housing cost == available credit
available credit is high, materials and labour are fixed, land cost balloons.
however land cost can also fall, as it will now the price of money (interest rates) is higher.

Canadians always fall back on immigration ramping house prices forever. Reality: you will get lower and lower quality immigrants as better qualified ones can select from several countries and they won't select the one with high taxes *and* high housing costs *and* high food costs.

No "investor" worth their salt is going to buy a unit and then leave it vacant instead of renting it out. Even if you're cash flow negative it's better to have some subsidy of your mortgage than to just eat that entire cost. The only time you'd leave it vacant instead of renting is when you have stupid fucking rent control like we have here in Ontario. During COVID, when rents fell 10-20% because everyone fled the city cores, landlords were incentivzed to hold units vacant and wait for the market turnaround because due to our rent control laws, locking in a tenant at rents 20% below the prior market rent meant that haircut was locked in forever. You can't push it back to market when it rebounds, you can only push it 1-2% a year. No one wanted to take that permanent impairment of cash flow/value, so they held units offline. Now the market has come back and those that locked in tenants at COVID pricing want to kill themselves. Thanks, rent control!

>Also, I want a house but I can't afford it, does this mean there is no demand?

Clearly there's enough demand to push the price of housing beyond your budget.

>Cost of construction is only part of the total cost but it's not the determining factor.

What is the determining factor, then?

>what does "below market" mean? The price is whatever market rate. Landlordism is parasitism. Landlords (together with banksters) are parasites of society.

Below market means exactly that. If you're someone who began renting in Toronto in the 1990's or whenever when rent was like $500 bucks, due to rent control that has only risen at like 1-2% per year. Such that today, you're paying like $1,000/mo in rent despite comparable vacant units going for say, $2,000/mo.

What the fuck are you talking about? Rent is charged based on what rent control allows, not "market rate" unless you own a building not subject to rent control, or you're renting out a vacant suite. Maintenance is all sorts of things related to the maintenance of the productive capacity of the asset. Repairs to units, mechanical systems, common areas, etc. You can't necessarily pass all that along to the tenant because, again, rent control only allows you to increase rent 1-2% per year in most cases. In some cases if you spend a lot of money to increase the quality of the building you can apply for an "above guideline increase" or AGI but it's a hassle to do and your rentoids get mad when they're actually made to pay for the improvement in building quality

>>50257815
>If the latter you are at the max price, how will increasing the input cost magically make the market able to pay more?

Increasing input cost without any mechanism for recovery will further disincentivize ownership/development of new rental stock. This leads to less available supply, or at least lower supply growth. If demand remains constant against shrinking supply growth, that should push prices higher

Corporate landlords don't own "houses", they own multifamily buildings which are designed for corporate ownership. No individual is going to "buy" a 50-unit purpose built rental building to live in.

Individual landlords, sure, they primarily buy condo units to rent out. Again, landlords are the only ones out here actually creating new supply of units by being the source of demand for new condo construction, which eventually in some cases become rental units. Without the investor-driven creation of new rental units we'd have even less supply in this city/country.

As these mom and pop condo unit landlords get flushed out, that means they're not going to buy the next unit that comes up. That means the next condo development won't pencil because they can't get the pre-sale requirements. That means supply goes down. The offset there is if the units already held by investors either get rented out or sold to end users, that helps alleviate some of the pressures.

>>50257988
There are plenty of other places, sure, and all of them are running similar schemes. The US is cheaper on average for now, but they have much more corporate involvement in single family ownership and that trend isn't reversing without sweeping legislation. The US being as cheap as it is is an aberration and for-profit groups are working hard to take advantage of it.

Hard to save it for maintenance when the amount you're being paid in rent isn't high enough due to artificial market distortions like rent control. And then rentoids in this city wonder why their buildings are in such poor condition. Maybe it's because it's filled with people paying $900/mo for a suite that would otherwise rent for double that, at least, in a normal market environment

I personally see the missing link here as land value tax. The gains made are on appreciation as well as the month-to-month running of providing a service.
If we took the absurd appreciation out by flushing out speculators, regulating foreign ownership and having our fucking banks lend against productive activity, we'd still have enough to build but it would take the insane speculation out, making buildings cheaper.

Seems to include vacation homes which will obviously be empty most of the year. I don't care enough to dig into the methodology so I'll assume you're correct - at the end of the day the owner can do whatever they want with the property, it's theirs. If they want to hold it vacant and eat the cost of mortgage/property tax with no offsetting revenue that's on them. It's inherently self-destructive and they'll either sell it to someone else for a profit (or loss), or end up renting it out to recoup some cash flow.

>Is there any proof of this?

Logically why would one forgo rental income if they as the owner still get to benefit from property price appreciation? It makes no sense

>but doesn't. I want a home, I cannot afford it,

tough shit, make more money.

>does this mean there is no demand? or an empty home is sitting at above market rates waiting for someone to buy it, does this mean there is no supply?

if an empty home is sitting at above market rates, it won't sell and the owner will continue to eat the carrying costs. If prices stop going up, they'll eventually sell or rent it out. Since you can't afford housing now, sounds like you'll just have to wait and speculate on housing falling to a level you deem "affordable".

LVT seems to make a lot of sense, but unfortunately given the state of the current system I can't see it ever being implemented. We're too far along the current path to just about-face and destroy all the "value" tied up in real estate.

>>50258214

>why is it hard to save? high enough for what?

It's hard to save for the reasons I described in my prior post, you idiot. If your maintenance bill is $500/mo but your rentoids currently pay you a combined $300/mo in rent across the entire building because they're rent-controlled tenants that have been there 30 years, how do you expect to save enough from rent receipts to cover the bill?

>because you say so?

I could say the same about your bullshit claim that housing is a human right. Why is it a human right? Because you say so?

>yes and all of it is paid for by labour

Go build your own house then. Unless you do that, you have no right to demand one be provided to you. You can use your labor to earn a wage that can then go towards funding your cost of shelter from a generous landlord who does you the service of providing it to you.

>but landlordism is exactly that appropriation of someone else's labour through the machanism of private property (ie violence)

Landlordism is earning a return on invested capital, much like all other investment. You invest in the purchase of an asset, and you also invest in the maintenance/improvement of the productive capacity of that asset, providing shelter to others without the means to purchase it for themselves. Be grateful there are people out there more adept at managing their capital than you are, who have graciously offered to provide you a home you do not have the ability to acquire on your own. If this bothers you, get you fucking skills up and make enough money to afford your own place (or move).

The numbers are made up but the gist is the same. You don't get enough in annual rental increases to keep up with the annual increase in running costs, especially over years/decades. The only time you get to mark a unit to market is when it turns over and the tenant vacates, but because tenants know how the rent control game works, the longer they're in the unit the less incentivized they are to ever move out, because they likely can't afford to pay market rate. This is the city telling them they can't afford to live here anymore, but luckily rent control allows these less productive people to hoard housing from those willing to pay market rate for it

>because everyone needs a place to live, that's why.

make more money or move somewhere cheaper, then. Others don't need to bend over backwards to accomodate you because you can't afford to pay the going rate in a region. What makes you think you're entitled to live in a globally desirable area if you don't make enough income to justify it?

This kind of land value tax idea is retarded, the only reason the guy running a carpark instead of a skyscraper is because he doesn't have the capital to afford a skyscraper, so if the LVT is meaningful enough to make a difference then he'd be forced to sell because it would no longer be profitable.
Meanwhile the rich can always afford to build the most wealth generating asset on the land, so that's what the land value tax will encourage.
It's just another idea that will consolidate wealth towards the people that are already richer than the average rich.
