I would use the term “swimming in immigration”.
- wolverine876 3y agoIndeed. Also, I wonder how it's affordable to immigrants but not college graduates (from U. Toronto, no less).
- nemo44x 3y agoBecause they’re willing to stuff many people in a single residence. Like 3 or 4 to a bedroom. I worked at a place with many migrants and one group had like 10 guys staying in the apartment and they more or less hot bunked the beds as they worked across different shifts.
- sanswork 3y agoCanadian college graduates are going to feel less happy living with a bunch of other people to share the rent with than immigrants who frequently are ok with multigenerational households. I left Toronto for an even more expensive area(Bondi) and i see this here too with backpackers willing to live 6 people to a 3 bed apartment while locals feel priced out at the 1 bed or studio level.
- huytersd 3y agoBecause immigrants (Indians specifically) at least in the US are highly educated/entrepreneurial and have no problems finding a job as a result of which are very wealthy.
- wolverine876 3y agoThere may be a lot of wealthy Indian immigrants in SV, but you can also find many in different circumstances all over the US. (Which is not a criticism - I'd rather admit the poorer immigrants, who need the change of scenery more.)
- huytersd 3y agoNot really. They’re really aren’t very many Indians in the US living anywhere close to the poverty line. The second part of your statement also assumes they were rich before they came here. They come here poor and then get rich. This may be different in Canada of course.
