I emailed this to both campaigns.
The root problem is the housing market free fall. What I suggest they do is this. They propose that anyone who buys a single-family dwelling under 1 acre over the next 12 months can so so with no future capital gains if that property is held in the same title for 15 years or more. Therefore, no buy and swaps. Investors buy up the inventory. This deals with the actual problem that is causing the financial mess. It includes tax relief and costs nothing in the short term.
Man, why does it take a Canadian to solve their problems?
