We don't need more manpower, it's our policies that are restricting supply

Those are also dumb. We should stop zoning everything just for the sake of the environment and basic livability, even.

If there were more incentive to build housing then more people would get into construction, not the other way around. People don't train for industries that don't pay

Sure. IIRC, though, this thread started with somebody blaming immigration for the crisis. It's not that, that's not how it works.

It is if you get more immigrants than you can build houses

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Except immigrants build houses. Sense this discussion looping back on itself a bit, so I'll check out if there's nothing further.

But they don't, I don't understand why you are under this impression

Millions of immigrants in recent years and nothing is getting built

Need to fix policies before getting more immigrants
