tsa posted:I think you guys have a parliament correct? Or was that mortgaged too? Well, LTV on credit cards is pretty high typically, as on unsecured lines of credit. I was asking how one would effectively go about structuring a law to make low-down-payment mortgages illegal, not whether the rule of law remained in force. CI clarified that he meant "keep CMHC from insuring low-down mortgages" (which may not require parliament to act), not actually banning some forms of loan, but I'm interested to hear your opinion: what would a bill look like if parliament were to pass it?

Take a look at a few of the parameters here: https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/co/moloin/moloin_003.cfm. They'd just have to increase the minimum down payment from 5% to some higher number. If the buyer doesn't have that, the loan can't be insured by CMHC and the liability falls on the bank or some dumb third party insurer.

omg can you imagine if minimum downpayment requirements were raised to 25%? You'd have to save 250000 to buy a million dollar house!!! Who can save that much money anyway? Poor families can't afford to put away that much money! We can't solve this housing crisis by making it harder for hard working families to borrow a million dollars, especially if downpayments are increased to such prohibitive levels!!

Raising the the minimum downpayment would improve rental stock and the renting experience as renting would then not only be for poors and drug addicts. Kind of like how increasing the cost of driving improves the transit experience once the average person is now obligated to do so.

cowofwar posted:Raising the the minimum downpayment would improve rental stock and the renting experience as renting would then not only be for poors and drug addicts. No need to raise the minimum downpayment as sky high prices have already pushed more people, including those of higher classes, into renting, which is why the vacancy rate is now around 0.6% in Vancouver. We haven't really seen a subsequent move toward a increased rate of purpose built supply creation, excepting the City of Vancouver squeezing a few hundred units here and there out of developers with special incentives. The result of all this is more landlord shenanigans, renovictions and crazy stories like that one posted earlier about homeless SFU students. Amongst the giant pile of promises Trudeau made during the election there was something about rental housing, but I haven't heard anything about it since the election. Everyone is off on holiday now it seems.

Raising the minimum downpayment could potentially make the condo market less active enough that developers would actually build rental but I really have no idea where that balance is.

Its delightfully ironic that this panic move by the Liberals to tamp down on the housing issue was so poorly arranged that it has angered the very voting base the Liberals were seeking to placate. If nothing else, at least we're most certainly going to see them voted out next year now that they've cost fiscally irresponsible old people their retirement slush funds and pissed off the FOBs.
