How would you fix the housing crisis?
Several countries are currently faced with a housing crisis. I am mostly looking at you Canada, Australia and some parts of the USA. In many of this cases, demand for housing is simply higher than supply, rent is extortional or the housing market is a bubble.
What would be the economically sound ways to deal with those issues?
