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.

What are you even talking about? The only stupid idea here is you suggesting that people aren’t trying hard enough. Yeah, that’s why they don’t have homes. Pull up those bootstraps and lay-off the avocado toast.
Home ownership is not accessible. Full stop. Not for the average family, not for low income families. The ability to buy a home should be available to everyone. Duh they’ll have to save and pay their mortgage. No one said all housing should be free (although I’m not opposed to that either). But let’s start at everyone should be able to buy a home.
