    What would you say are limiting factors on our ability to build then, if you think reducing immigration won’t significantly reduce housing construction?

    Why do you say immigration a lever to pull but not the factors limiting construction?

      The limiting factor is government red-tape. It costs a lot of money and can take years just to get the approvals to start building.

      Not to mention our whole tax system is geared to favor the rich. (Thanks Howard!)

        I do agree with that, I suppose we probably disagree with the speed reforms can take then.
