Home ownership out of reach for many Canadians
from The Current
A growing number of Canadians have given up on the idea of home ownership. Then there are those who bought what they thought was a starter condo, only now they can't unload it with plummeting condo prices. Ontario and the federal government have pledged nearly $9 billion to make building homes cheaper. We’ll talk to Mike Moffat, the Founding Director of the University of Ottawa’s Missing Middle Initiative, and co-host of The Missing Middle Podcast about what it means for the housing crisis.
