Unaffordability in Canada’s housing market is pushing nearly a third of would-be buyers to consider co-ownership and other ‘non-traditional’ paths to buy a home, Re/Max says.

“chip in with friends to buy that overpriced firetrap” is about as helpful as the American “don’t by the new iPhone if you want money for healthcare and other riches”.

It’s half “let them eat cake” and half “bootstraps” shit.

I mean, moving everybody into a detached single-family home was kind of dumb and elitist too, when it was pushed for in the first place.
