## Resource

Ron Butler, principal of Butler Mortgage and host of The Angry Mortgage Broker podcast, discusses the government's controversial decision to bail out B.C. condo developers. He argues that the decision privatizes profits while socializing losses, rescuing developers who overpriced units rather than allowing market corrections that would benefit potential homeowners. He questions why taxpayers nationwide should subsidize B.C.'s real estate industry and warns the bailout sets a dangerous precedent for the industry.
