Should the government incentivize the construction of affordable housing?

No

Yes, as long as it does not interfere with the housing market, and is not costly for taxpayers.

Yes, but ensure the developers are making housing that whoever lives in it can keep cost low. for example, no drafts, solar, heavily insulated and control venting for the climates they are made it.

Yes, but affordable housing needs to actually be affordable. 10-20% less than market rent is not enough to help the housing crisis.

The government should build more public housing, that is high density and affordable. it will create jobs and slow the rising of housing prices

Yes, but introduce a bar of quality that developers must reach. So that new housing is also livable and well made housing that will last for decades

Yes, as long as the funds are diverted from already existing taxpayer-funded programs so there's no tax increase

No, there should be limits on investment properties and more regulations on rental properties to ensure the housing that already exists can be utilised

No, the government should be building government owned housing for low income households, to compete with the private market
