Actually we are running out of space in my Canadian province.

Here in Canada's smallest province I've never seen so many apartment buildings, condos, and homes being built. A field that was empty year ago now has about a dozen apartment buildings, maybe a dozen homes. And that's just one area. The sprawl is taking over farmland.

Meanwhile people have no place to live and anyone who does gets kicked out for a "renoviction". Supposedly repairs and upgrades but often it's just a coat a paoint and rent is doubled. Or it's covered to Air Bnb or other short term rentals STR. I've never seen so many homeless people in my life here.

So many buildings yet nowhere to live.
