I'd prefer encouragement over apathy

I come from a place of realism, I assure you. The Minister in Ottawa already said that he wanted housing more affordable but to not reduce the value of the houses.

Much of our money is in housing, and many of our politicians are landlords and real estate investors...

The only encouragement I got for you is that the CMHC said that the realistic aim with building new housing is to bring it back to 2019 levels of affordability.

So from nightmarishly unattainable to disgustingly out of reach.
