    Raising rates seems to do two things to housing:

    • encourage targeting luxury housing - if you’re rich, prices aren’t as important
    • encourage selling to larger landlords - more apartments, fewer condos/townhouses

    Builders are still going to build, they just need to target people who can afford the higher prices.

      Looking at the construction industry in Quebec, builders aren’t building anything… There’s zero clients right now…
