Isn’t allowing everyone and essentially recruiting immigrants a major cause of the housing crisis and expenses in Toronto?


Sure and immigration should be stemmed, short-term, until housing reforms can be implemented.

They've already announced measures to reduce student visas which were uncapped previously.

Still. This isn't going to solve the issue. They need to build far more than they currently are doing. They need to strip local government of its veto over housing. They need to definancialize real estate.


Yep. It’s such a cancer in the US too. So many NIMBY’s. Toronto when I went was so odd like a mix of dense and then houses.
