I've heard that Mark Carney wants to 'bail out developers'. It looks to me more like David Eby wants to help out people who can't afford to buy a first home---but then spin, vibes, and ideology got involved. :-(

I still think it's all about supply. I think people try to bob and weave, tap dance, and do cartwheels to avoid admitting the problem is cities aren't allowing enough housing to get built. The cost of borrowing wouldn't matter much if there was enough housing to go around. I think people confuse the effects of the problem with the causes of it.
