I'm honestly done, I've written you off as a troll. No one in 2023 has this little understanding on economics. The Covid lockdowns showed us the relationship between earnings, money supply, and asset values.
So after I called you a troll, you are just trying to call me one now cause that made you mad. Jfl at the cope. 2008 was perfect example of how unintended increase of housing market values through government programs to make them more affordable led to a crash. Covid lockdowns didn’t show us anything new, the science of economics has been around for a long time.
Again, home ownership has always been for the super rich, in every society ever. In feudal europe you needed to be literal royal or royal adjacent to own property. Property owners were always seen as disgusting, that's the epitome of Marxism, an ideology that over 1/3 of the world ascribed to.
Feudalism is what people don’t want, where the wealthy own all the property and everyone else is pretty much renting. That’s what you are advocating, as owning urban housing is even less affordable to anyone so you are forced to rent.
Marxism is not a good measure for people around the world believe, as most those numbers are coming from China and people didn’t “vote” them in jfl. And their so called marxism isn’t actual communism, as their totalitarian social system and mixed economic system reflects a fascist system much better. So even China does not believe in Marxist theory of economics because it was a complete failure, and led to the famous reforms under Deng Xiaoping.
70% of all personal wealth in China is in housing, but they are not allowed to own the land underneath their homes. Many get decade long leases, which is essentially a way for you to be able to “own” a home without being able to pass it on to your kids.
If they wanted to rent so badly, why would they get these decade long leases from the government? The answer is because they don’t, and they actually want to be able to own a home and be able to pass it own to their kids.

Based on this analysis, in the last 10 years there is a 60% increase in stock price. I’m guessing maybe you mean the dividends they pay.
I’m not saying it’s a bad investment, but if you have to pay rent anyways, why would you not have that count towards owning the home? Meanwhile you don’t have to invest in the banking industry like this by force.
I don't care if it's considered high risk, the tech market in the U.S is objectively more stable and higher yielding than Canadian RE
Not more stable, but definitely higher yielding. But if you want to use TFSA and such, you have to buy Canadian stock. Plus tech stocks don’t pay out dividends, but it’s still a good place to invest.
As I said before though, if you have to pay rent no matter what, why not have that money go to buying your own house instead? It’s the smartest decision if you have the choice, just don’t leave in the GTA and move. Personally that would be my advice. If you have extra cash after then, then investment in these tech stocks and canadian companies is the way to go once that is done.
They couldn't afford shit in their old country, thats why they came here.
They can afford their basic needs including housing but things like technology, entertainment, luxury items, etx is much more unaffordable there.
Buffet openly said he didn't even want to own his current home, he only bought it because of his wife.
He literally says home ownership is a good investment for most Americans financially and emotionally
Buying a home enables you to create stability for yourself and your loved ones, as well as to hopefully build wealth over time when you pay down your loan and your property appreciates in value.
Because of both the financial and emotional benefits, Buffett made clear that "Home ownership makes sense for most Americans, particularly at today’s lower prices and bargain interest rates."
The reason he says he didn’t want to buy a house like he did is because he would have made more money if he invested in his tech stocks. But as I said, he doesn’t have to pay rent and nowhere does he say he would rather pay rent jfl.
Housing is an appreciating asset while rent is not an asset at all. Since everyone has to live in housing, the first choice makes infinitely more sense given the choice.
