This data visualization product provides information on the pace of population renewal in Canada. The web page shows a real-time model of population growth in Canada. The components of population growth are modelled in order to adjust the population of the country, provinces and territories. Moreover, a map is showing in which provinces and territories the demographic events are occurring.Data modelled in real time on this web page are not to be confused with Census counts and demographic estimates, which are the measures used to determine the size of the population in the context of various governmental programs.
The population of Canada is expected to hit 40 million within the next day or two, according to StatCan’s modelling.
It sucks. I know it’s not the only reason we’re in this mess but I think it would give us a big break is we banned Airbnb.
Airbnb hosts with over 100,500 listings in Canada.
Only 17% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada is generated by true home sharing, where the owner is present during the guest’s stay. This means that in 2016/17, entire-home rentals comprised 83% of total Airbnb revenues in Canada.
Approximately 7-in-every-10 units on the Airbnb distribution platform are entire-home rentals, with guests having complete and sole access of the entire unit during their stay.
1 in every 3 units in Canada is rented out for more than 90 days per year and generates 71% of total Airbnb revenues in the past 12-month period.
doesn’t that mean that 2/3 units are rented for less than 90 days? that means they should be utilizing capacity that would otherwise be sitting empty (i.e. because the owner is living in it for most of the year)?
The fundamentality of cost is a means to manage scarcity. If something is running thin, meaning there is less of a thing than those who wish to have that thing, then cost must rise such that enough people lose interest in having that thing (i.e. it becomes unaffordable), yielding to those who still do want the thing.
The addition of ‘unaffordable’ changes nothing. It is already encoded in the original statement.
Meanwhile, Canada’s housing supply is running thin!

That’s a lot of empty homes.
Airbnb but also speculative and for-profit ownership. Homes shouldn’t be bought to rent.

FTFY
What did you change?

Yup, it’s horrible, and it’s not with 1 million immigrant per year that the housing and rent supply will change, it will be worst and worst
