If we want affordable homes, we must break our addiction to high and rising home prices, which come mostly from land values.

Toronto real estate broker John Pasalis talks about land value tax, an old idea with renewed interest to improve the housing system.

"This isn't about socialism. This is about proper capitalism. If you've invested in something, surely you want access to it." — Economist Mariana Mazzucato on why the public should not only share the risks of innovation, but the rewards too.

"If we want real affordability we need to stop pretending that supply alone can fix this crisis. No matter how much we build investor demand is growing even faster."

You've heard of universal basic income. What about universal basic capital? Billionaire Nicolas Berggruen says it's how we tackle inequality and give citizens a stake in a nation's success. "As opposed to taxing the robots, why not own the robots?"

BC land value "increased by over $1 trillion over a decade. It tripled." — Paul Finch, President of BC General Employees' Union This is the largest transfer of public to private wealth happening before our eyes.

Noone's talking about what we actually need, which is for prices to come down. The desire to get wealthy off land values is incompatible with the need for affordable homes. Again, no politicians are even acknowledging this.

"We have enough flippin' tax" Yes, on things that make society better and more productive, like work and building homes. We should shift those taxes to land value instead.

UBC's Patrick Condon has 3 solutions to the housing crisis, and it's all about land. 1. Stop using tax dollars to boost demand even more. 2. Capture land value to benefit the public, not speculators. 3. Use that value to build affordable housing.

The greatest conflict of interest: 95% of Canadian MPs own property, 40%+ are landlords. "They definitely don't want the price to go down because they need the money." Nobody in office is saying it: homes can't both be good investments and affordable.
