Most expensive homes yes, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of livable homes and apartments that are _empty_ at any given time. Canada has a lot of vacant houses.
- Maxatar 2y agoCanada has one of the lowest home vacancy rates among the OECD countries and currently at the lowest rate it's been in 40 years: https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/data/datasets/affordable-housing-database/hm1-1-housing-stock-and-construction.pdf https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/data/datasets/affor...
- jeffalyanak 2y agoThat paper doesn't disprove my point. It indicates ~7% home vacancy, which means the total number of vacant homes is higher than the number of people without homes.
