In this episode of the Toronto Real Estate Podcast, Ralph Fox dives into the federal government's latest promise to double Canadian housing starts to 500,000 per year through a new crown corporation: Build Canada Homes.Will $25 billion in modular home funding really fix our housing crisis? Or is this another billion-dollar boondoggle waiting to implode?From the failure of FEMA’s prefab homes in the U.S. to the disasters of TCHC, Crosstown, and the Hamilton micro-shelters scandal—Ralph walks through case after case of why government-run housing plans often don’t work. He explores the labour shortages, supply chain limitations, and sheer logistical impossibility of pulling off a plan of this magnitude.This isn’t a rant—it’s a reality check. And it’s a must-watch for anyone serious about understanding the real factors behind Canada’s housing crisis (and why well-intentioned plans can still go disastrously wrong).
