I'm not opposed to people coming into the country but there needs to be a process where they are coming in legally otherwise it puts too much of a strain on our social services and infrastructure that we have been indentured servants to pay for.
If you even think of the school systems it is typically paid for with the property taxes. Usually parents have paid into that for years before a kid enters the school system. Now they are showing up need supported by us and then the kids are in school trying to understand what is being said.
I think it would take 15 or 20 years for these people to be a net positive on tax revenue if ever. Then you have all the military aged guys coming in from various countries like China. Not sure if they are spies or what. No one really knows.
Yes. We have a housing shortage here in Canada. I'm not sure where all the new immigrants will live. Maybe tiny Offgrid homes on all the land I will buy.

I was telling my dad today that I didn't see a lot of trailer parks up in Canada and I don't know if they don't really meet building codes up there or what but that used to be the cheap housing options but even those suddenly would cost a bunch here. I would see mobile homes being sold on a little piss ant spot of land for over $50,000 in Arizona. It was nuts to me . But yeah there is no place to put all these immigrants in the US and Canada and it is going to cost all of us.
It's honestly going to be tough to stay ahead of it and there have been a lot of comparisons made between 1930 which was the worst of the great depression and right now a lot of things like housing are more expensive now. The properties can be a great hedge against the inflation but also the taxes and insurance can entrap a person in it as well.
One of the big things I'm seeing on YouTube are a lot of people buying up those mini storage sheds and then turning them into tiny homes but the biggest issues with that is the septic systems and having a bathroom.
It would be one thing if their was a property that previously had a concrete slab with a well and a septic system already installed. These septic systems can be $40,000 at this point which is insane.

Yes. What we did with the family cottage (camp) up on Lake Superior to keep costs down was just install a Holding tank for the outdoor outhouse … it gets emptied every second year … we set up a pump to get water from the Lake. We do have hydro installed but my Dad bought the land for $1,000 back in the 70’s and then built the 3 bedroom camp including electrical for $1,000 ….
The camp with outhouse ( no septic) next door sold for $400,000 this summer. So a very good investment …
I am looking for a big piece of land on Lake Superior or Huron so that when I retire in 2 years I can build a small log house, and my kids can also build and run a business from their homes. On the Lake… Outside the City.
