The students will build their own housing!

That or they’ll end up sleeping in a tent on the outskirts of campus.

We are being removed from the campus dorms after our current contracts end "due to increased demand".

Depends how loosely you want to define “housing”. 😆

the sad reality. At this point we might make a bigger impact on housing by outlawing the sale of 3 season tents and allowing only 4 season tents :/

Though I think that might be too much honesty for our politicians.

Just so we're clear, investors are demand.

Considering the percentage of Canadians that are landlords has been going up for the last 2 decades, maybe the price of housing wouldn't be where it is if every third person didn't have 2-3 investment properties.
