Canada’s population is booming – and we aren’t building nearly enough homes

[petros]

Are the 93,000 all single without children?

 

[The_Foxer]

If you say so they are! Why not? You've never been wrong before.

 

[petros]

Approximately 20% (50,000) of the immigrants to Canada each year are children and youth younger than 15 years of age.

Uh oh, the number of units needed is plummeting again...

Sure- and as you say they'll never buy a home or need someplace to live! SO problem solved!!!

Absolutely - 15 year olds will never want to buy a home someday and as you've already pointed out children don't even NEED a home to live in, and certainly don't buy one! So you've saved us again!!!

Someday isnt today. Good thing the death rate isnt rising.

 

[petros]

With new kids coming will there be a need for half a million plus foreign students gobbling up accommodations?

Totally correct! There's no problem at all! You've cracked it!

Well you tell us!! Obviously you've got this figured out entirely! I was worried because i was trusting all those bank reports, real estate reports, Global economic reports statcan population reports etc but now that you've drilled down to the facts i can rest at ease knowing you got this!

 

[petros]

Apparently you dont like statistics so Ill give more.

20% being kids means at minimum 60% are families needing 1 unit.

How many needed units now? Even less.

 

[The_Foxer]

Absolutely! your math is impeccable! 20 percent of immigrants being kids means AT LEAST a minumum of 60 percent are families! For sure. The math totally checks out!

Orphans! Orphans who buy houses instead of renting?

I guess they can live on the streets with Gen X if they dont want to rent.

 

[petros]

Fucking statistics....

In 2019, Canada admitted 341,180 permanent residents, compared to 321,055 the previous year. Among those admitted, 58% were economic immigrants and their accompanying immediate families

shitty me for rounding.

17% are family class meaning coming to reunite with family already here...


Again the units needed drops.

Maybe it was a while ago when I fished but do recall that they had a couple of boats fishing for them .

This was in the 80s. They had the Walkus fleet at that time.

For sure! You got this nailed!
