no, listen.

i have to be clear about this.

i have money in the bank. i have a stable income source. but, in this city, there are more people that want apartments than there are apartments available. so, i am facing stiff competition for housing, and unable to find what i want to find.

i understand that there's a surplus of new houses being built, but that is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, other than to point out the poor use of resources - neither disabled people, nor refugees, nor people working minimum wage want to buy houses in the suburbs.....

so, i'm going to have to remove myself from this market and place myself in one that has less people competing for more open spaces.

the precise cause of this sudden shift in market conditions has been the increase in immigration to this city - which now has tens of thousands of refugees living in it, and nearly that many international students. i'm simply describing the causes of the shift in market conditions...

but, the underlying problem has been a misprioritization of resources, which has led to an oversupply of new housing and an undersupply of low rent housing.

while this may balance out better elsewhere, i suspect that it's going to be a long time before we clear the refugees out of the low rent housing here in windsor.
