I understand your worries. The wars are going to effect lots of things, supply chains etc. I'm not sure how oil will effect housing here, I'm curious how you see that effecting housing specifically? For real, Genuine question. (I'm not being snide.) The government should absolutely do all of those things, and they easily could. We do already have enough homes, it's not as much of a shortage, more a problem that investors have hoarded up all the stock. They keep homes vacant, for prolonged periods of time to force the price of rents etc up. The government could easily tax investment properties, to tip the scale back in favour of it being a home first, and an investment second. We have enough homes, currently, and we are building enough homes to technically keep up with demand. It's being manipulated to overinflate prices, currently, though. On census night in 2021, for example, more than a million homes were recorded as unoccupied. We could easily use homes that are vacant, or old military or mining bases. Theres options for both homeless and refugees. Theres so many options to fix the current, artificially created crisis.
