Cecil definitely said home ownership should be a right before you made this post and doubled down on it after.
Which is a stupid idea, because the only way to guarantee that is to give people houses. Aside from the "who pays for that" question, a huge percentage of people given a house will treat it like crap.
Owning housing absolutely should be attainable for the average family, but it isn't unreasonable it require savings and hard work. The current system has run away from average families. The only way to fix it is to massively increase supply to drive speculation out of the markets. But that is mostly a municipal (zoning) and provincial (green zone/agricultural zone) policies. Higher interest rates will help somewhat but to fix the problem there needs to be a supply response.
