      The government isn’t really exploring other options.

      Trudeau (to his credit) talked about limiting capital gains exemptions over 250k (which could take some money out of housing), but the Liberals, CPC, and NDP allowed that to die.

      There hasn’t been talk of a tax on home sales over a certain value.

      There hasn’t been serious talk of cracking down on money laundering or mortgage fraud.

      The Liberal and CPC have both talked about limiting municipal regulations as a way for developers to (somehow) build cheaper buildings.
