    Put capital gains tax on housing investments. Divert all cash from a pie in the sky train program for housing subsidies.

      Housing subsidies raise the overall cost, and the middle class still gets to pay the bill. It has its place for low incomes, but it’s counterproductive when done too broadly. I’m definitely in favor of taxing investment real estate though.

      This “pie in the sky” train system is currently using like none of the federal budget. Find something else to cut money from.
