Housing wealth for one generation shouldn’t come at the expense of another
The political bargain we’ve struck in Canada obliges younger people to compromise their standard of living to protect the housing wealth accumulated by homeowners who have come before them. It’s time to acknowledge this – and to compensate young people for their profound expression of intergenerational solidarity.
We’re collaborating with Studenthaus to talk to young across Canada about what they’re being asked to give up, and what reciprocity they deserve from the rest of us in return.
Stay tuned to hear more of their voices!
