      That’s a funny way of wording the question since it never stopped, but there’s a few recent things I can point to. If you need a time frame, I’d say the last several months.

      The city nearest to me abolished single-family zoning and is seeing a ton of construction and sharply falling prices. I might finally be able to break into the market. We have a new federal government department designed to start producing housing en mass, called Build Canada Homes. Housing prices are also easing off across the country, although certain cities are having more trouble, and the temporary scaling back of immigration while building continues is probably the main factor.

      Maybe in Portugal there’s more space issues, but it’s not Hong Kong so I don’t think that’s the whole problem.
