The housing situation in the USA and in Canada are different though. You would be shifting the cost from those able to snatch the good deals while the crash happens to the whole population having to pay back banks through increased taxes over decades.

Don't forget all the job losses that come with that, can't buy a cheap house if you don't even have a job!

Government decides who pay taxes. Shitty governments decide everyone pays the same. Good government redistribute.

In the early 20th century people responsible for crisis, bubbles and stuff were severly punished. It can be done.

Also, you should get familiar with the story of the boiling frog. Wishing things won't get worse will only get you dead eventually.
