Here's a lesson for you - government will never fix your lot in life, only you can. If you are waiting for any government to fix rental costs, housing prices etc, you'll probably go through your entire life without much satisfaction.  If people really can't afford to live in a city with their wages, the best option is to move somewhere more affordable - it is possible! 

(And I think that the Libs lost most votes because the NDP promised "nice" things like no bridge tolls, "free" daycare and the like - in other words they bought their way in (or almost in) with unaffordable promises).
