RandAlThor@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Financial firms are driving up rent in Toronto — and targeting the most vulnerable tenants3·18 hours agoImmigration is a factor. Governments (note the S) lack of planning and strategy around it, leaving it to the invisible hand of “market forces” hasn’t worked. Even without immigration social trends alone would have dictated higher housing demand as more people are staying single or getting divorced and living on their own. This era of artificially low interest rates and being awash in excessive liquidity for prolonged periods due to various “financial” crises is a much bigger factor in this by creating this prolonged housing bubble. Housing shortages aren’t just local. It’s global. The world’s population has always been growing. There’s always been immigration. The reason we have governments is properly manage and plan for these things. It’s been a failure at every single level - local, municipal, provincial, and federal.
