What strange comparisons. People didn't NEED more tulips. People DO NEED more housing options. I am recently married and would like to start having children, but first we'd like to get out of our Toronto apartment into a house. So yes, more supply would be great, thanks.

By all means enact controls on the demand side (e.g. foreign buyer's tax), but more supply too please!

Why is it that every single analysis focuses on supply OR demand solutions? Is it really so difficult to imagine a fix involving both?
