Wouldn’t say it’s governments, but unfortunately homeowners (which is the majority of the population in some of these, like Canada) can’t afford their house price to go down. Quite a significant amount of them rely on it as their retirement plan (sell, downsize, retire). These people will perpetually vote for people who won’t allow house prices to go down (which, kinda makes sense — “voting for your own good”).
