I don't think they really address housing affordability. And subsidizing mortgage rates (what they are effectively proposing) will just help drive up housing prices.
Housing affordability is a complicated problem, and it's made more complex yet by the split of responsibilities between the multiple levels of government. To me, land availability, zoning, land prices and property tax structure are the keys to finding a sustainable solution to this problem. However, more of that is under provincial control than federal.
