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

- ashconnor 3y agoSure 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. https://www.ft.com/content/085cda38-9060-4da1-8532-1a3af9cd7e58 https://www.ft.com/content/085cda38-9060-4da1-8532-1a3af9cd7... 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.
