> It's the life-long renters who will be mainly impacted by this negatively. Not to mention the people who would normally have bought within the next few years who've just become life-long renters because housing prices have shot up out of reach. I live in Vancouver, and hey, I even work in tech, but the housing princes here are out of reach. If I'd made ten years ago what I made now I'd own my own home, but now it just seems like an unreasonable course of action.
