    Isn’t it a good thing that there’s surplus homes? The principle of single home ownership is outdated in a reality where vacation homes exist, transportation between cities is fast and inexpensive, and family may live a few hours away from you.

    It’s certainly much better than the housing crunch Canada is going through.

      Often the quality of the buildings is below sub-par and, frankly, dangerous.

      Also it’s not entirely impossible that Canada has a housing surplus that is simply kept off the market for regular folk because that’ll earn the ghouls in charge more money

      It’s going to be pretty bad for the people who will lose their savings over this.
