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.

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

This realtor identified the right problem: land as a long-term investment. He circles around the solution, but never quite lands on it though. Land value tax solves this (replace taxes on income and building.)
