Like the issue is still supply and getting NIMBYS/cities to fuck off, lack of middle + government housing, etc right? These first-time buyers things dont seem to be effective because the issue seems rooted in artificially restricted supply and overwhelmingly accelerating increase of demand (corporate purchasing and in my country at least, unsustainable international “student” policy to enrich schools and a fundamentally unsustainable immigration frenzy writ large
Nothing against students and immigrants (we’ll need them since none of us non-blessed can reproduce) but we’re lying and taking advantage of many who aren’t rich and are banking on our rosier international reputation when the reality is its all fucked and everything that is seen to be done pours lighter fluid on the fire.
