Housing Affordability: Is Supply the Missing Piece?

If housing affordability is the goal, then supply has to be part of the solution — but it is nowhere near as simple as just “building more homes”. In this TPC Gold clip, Ben, Evan and David Robertson unpack the housing supply challenge, population growth, migration targets, the investment case for new builds versus established property, land value, first-home buyer competition and the unintended consequences that can come from tax changes. It is a practical reminder that property policy rarely moves one lever without shifting several others at the same time.
