What we need is further investment in tech hub towns and cities, like Halifax did. In places that donโt burn/flood seasonally and have a reliable power supply. If that got spread out, housing wouldnโt be as much of an issue.
I fully agree with you and it's encouraging to see things like "Alberta Is calling" campaign. But, I wish the federal goverment would be more involved in spreading the immigrants around our vast land. It feels like all they do is set targets and "job done"...
You mean the radio spots that tell me I can own a house for 400k in Alberta? As much as I want to believe that that's not complete bullshit, I think it is bullshit and pity everyone who goes through just to come back to wherever they were before.
You can totally own like a nice 3-bedroom house in a nice area in Winnipeg right now for 400K. My house cost that much and even had a finished basement and is one, a much bigger plot than most houses.
But then you have to live in Winnipeg. There's a reason everything is cheap there
From Winnipeg, can confirm
Up to a few years ago, you could have the 400k 3-bedroom AND a postal code that looks like 'banana' as well. BONUS!
Not now, though. Everyone found out and barely beat the investor scum to snap it all up.
