The fact that "Approximately 80% of Vienna either privately or socially rents" is an important difference between Austrian and Canadian society.

As Bravado notes, the two-thirds of Canadians who own homes are mostly quite opposed to government reducing their value. And most Canadians have a strong preference for owning over renting.

Our best bet is for the government to take a step back, not muddy things up even more.
