Ontario grows by more than 100k people per year. 10s of thousands of homes/year is losing ground, not even treading water.

- flycaliguy 5y agoYeah, there is a pretty well circulated blog post [1] explaining this population growth. Ontario just wasn’t ready to see this many people show up. If anybody doesn’t make SV money and wants a good tip: Consider an early inheritance of your parent’s home if you can build them an addition. That’s what we are doing. Took out a small mortgage to buy out my sister and we are now raising a family with grandma nice and close. We’ll assist her through old age and the entire thing feels very, I don’t know, European I guess?

- michael1999 5y agoI used to blame the FLQ and the 1980 referendum. But Ontario has had 40 years to understand the new reality and Montreal _still_ has more subway than we do. Good advice on co-housing - intergenerational sharing makes a ton of sense for so many reasons.
