During the equivalent state of Vancouver's housing bubble, a number of journalists blindly repeated the real estate industry's talking points that it was all just "supply and demand," and the answer (of course) was to give developers incentives, let them build glass high rises pretty much everywhere, and get rid of annoying zoning and green spaces. 

Now that it is universally recognized that Vancouver's housing bubble is driven by overseas money (as it will be soon in Toronto), and after revelations that there are in fact tens of thousands of empty investor residences in the city, those same journalists have lost all credibility.  Their commentary is no longer read or commented upon.  Journalism means more than just publishing press releases from a profit seeking industry with an obvious and undeniable bias.
