>>93007611 in 5 Ontario (read GGH) homes will be bought by fresh off the boat Chinese or Indians next year. None of them want to go to fucking Sudbury. As long as they can steal a few million back home, throw down 1 of that for a random house and jam the rest in an index fund, they can maintain themselves comfortably, and we'll keep taking them in.
Young people are buying home, mostly because their boomer and GenX parents have seen their houses increase 1000%, and they're willing to borrow against some of that lottery equity to set their kids up. The 60 years prior to now was an aberration. Citizenship in Cardinal Cities has traditionally been for the elite, and the rest scraped by outside the walls. We all were lazy and have slipped back in that direction, although if you're willing to, say, learn to code, and make yourself useful to the power brokers, you can readily buy your ticket in.
