The comment is complete hyperbole and isn't even correct. Real estate is bigger in the US than Canada.

Every developed country is running into immigration and housing issues. Canada isn't alone and isn't even the worst case.

Yes, but there's Canada's climate. If you try to live in a tent outdoors in Canada you will likely die.

Isn’t allowing everyone and essentially recruiting immigrants a major cause of the housing crisis and expenses in Toronto?

Sure and immigration should be stemmed, short-term, until housing reforms can be implemented.

They've already announced measures to reduce student visas which were uncapped previously.

Still. This isn't going to solve the issue. They need to build far more than they currently are doing. They need to strip local government of its veto over housing. They need to definancialize real estate.

Yep. It’s such a cancer in the US too. So many NIMBY’s. Toronto when I went was so odd like a mix of dense and then houses.

You can do it Vancouver. Seattle and Vancouver’s homelessness problem are remarkably similar, only differing in how Canada handles it better than the Americans do.

And that's essentially the only place you can. So all the homeless make a trek to Vancouver?
