If done at massive scale then yes that would also work, but I don’t believe the Canadian government is willing to go there either. It would truly need to be a huge scale to be able to bring housing back to affordable levels.

I think that is a second best solution, but would take a huge investment from our government.

It would still tank a lot of people’s retirements, because at its core more affordable housing means people can sell their houses for a lot less.

At its root I think Georgism is actually quite socialist. You are effectively saying nobody really owns land anymore, but instead have to rent it from the state for the value that you would get if you rented out just the land.
