"Experts" Blame Toronto's Sky-Rocketing House Prices on "Obsession With Home Ownership"

These deep thinkers want to do away with the "obsession" (the pejorative they use to describe a natural human desire, at least in these parts) so that people will be willing to live sans grumble in rental units (which have yet to be built).

It seems that, for those of a certain bent (you know the kind), private property remains anathema.

Instead of blaming the "obsession" and those who manifest it, surely these "experts" should point to the obvious--an insufficient supply along with all the speculators, bidding wars and house flippers.
