Canadian housing & land prices grew much, much faster than population alone would suggest.

There's something else at work: rampant financialization, infinite credit, and soaring demand for land as the #1 source of unearned wealth.

A few more charts to put things in perspective:

Most people believe Canadian land has a better risk-adjusted return than S&P500, gold, or btc.

That's why homes will never be affordable, no matter how many politicians say they're working on it. Unless we make land return less.

Canada's housing debate is missing a critical point:

Rising land rents are the biggest contributor to rising net worths in Canada. Anyone who says we need more affordable homes, but doesn't say prices must come down, is trying to do the impossible.

Huge housing price growth despite weak economy, or driving a weak economy?

Every dollar sunk into land rents is a dollar not producing anything of value for humanity. We need to tax land, not productivity.

Margot Robbie is bringing Monopoly to the big screen.

A game with UBI, first created as 'The Landlord's Game' to teach us that land rents are at the centre of poverty and inequality, to which the remedy is to tax land instead of work.
