listen i get yall think your very smart and if you really are that’s great, but you have to swallow the pill and realize there are people who don’t concern themselves with technicalities of every day life or their country. To them, when they buy land, they think they now own it, and not the country. Positioning this as “The government owns the land and rents the houses” will make people spin their heads 5 times over and go “what the fuck no way are we allowing that, that sounds like socialism/commie”
Its all fine and dandy discussions happen on here or reddit about what the government should do or this law or that, but the vast majority of Canadians just don’t have the time or interest to look into things like the average user on here does. Why do you think populist leaders do so well in elections, like doug ford? he talks in plain common words and points, no complicated language that people go “oh this ““nerd”” is talking again”.
I mean, the easy way around this is just to jack up property taxes so high that there’s no real difference between you owning it and you renting it from the government.
And you’re right, for now, currently more families own than not. That balance is changing though, as property prices are being pushed out of reach of entire generations. If you look at the percentages of home ownership at a certain age milestones and compare by generation it’s dropping pretty fast.
Why? Most of those groups don’t even own property, and many aren’t ever likely to be able to afford it.
There’s some pretty pissed off young people out there.
government taking control of land where you live = communism to the general public.
That’s an education problem. The government already controls the land.
