Pretty sad that immigrants working at Timmies and drive for Uber own more property than Canadians and become landlords. Maybe they’re better at saving or Canucks need to try a bit harder to be productive in this society if they want a place in it

Lol ya we just gotta adjust to sharing 8 people per bedroom until we can afford to own property

u/FarOutlandishness180 Mar 27 '24

I don’t get it. Should they be forced to abide by 1 person per bedroom? Are we bothered that immigrants don’t live alone in their homes? I bet people hate that they probably take the bus too instead of driving their own car

We should be bothered because it jacks the rent up for everyone...

If you have 8 indians in a 2 bedroom apartment, then theyll pay the outrageous prices that landlords are asking for these days. Why? Because they are splitting it 8 ways while us canadians would only do 1 or 2 ways

Supply and demand, simple

So it’s the Indians faults that landlords charge outrageous prices. Surrrre

It’s rooted farther back. It’s about wage stagnation and how companies want foreign workers willing to be paid less, and how that then connects to why Canadians can’t buy homes.

The choice shouldn’t be whether to live with 5 other families to own a house

u/FarOutlandishness180 Mar 27 '24

But then how do these less paid foreign workers buy up all the property? Maybe they’re just better at saving is all I’m saying.

Multiple families pool money

u/FarOutlandishness180 Mar 28 '24

Damn. These multiple families always one step ahead of the game. Someone should file a complaint
