I mean regular market value apartments and houses that we all either rent or own. A temporary housing subsidy could be installed to cover the bridge between the market value of the rent and the family's income.^^ but what is mainstream housing? Is it like 'streaming' that sends thousands into the void? Are you talking about a Welcome Wagon Tower?
I'm not sure I agree on that, as a good program to welcome immigrants should encompass jobs, education AND housing. Again, this is only touching on immigrants, so we'll need something else to deal with citizens.Dealing with getting people better jobs, education, etc needs to be dealt with separately from housing.
Regent Park will certainly be a social engineering experiment, which of course it was in the 1940s as well.I'm glad that at least Regent Park will be rebuilt over many years, so that the buildings should look different enough that the whole concept of Regent Park as a neighbourhood distinct from the surrounding area will disapear.
...especially the pan-generational housing, wherein someone immigrates to Canada from wherever, and ends up in Regent Park, and then their kids live there, and then their grandkids live there, etc....
I think the trick is to bring folks here that private industry wants. If Canadian firms do not want new employees with engineering degrees from developing countries, then don't bring in those folks since it's only going to lead to their frustration and dissapointment, or at least tell those folks before they emigrate that their credentials will not be recognized."Sorry, you met all the criteria as a well educated and motivated individual but Canadian business required Canadian experience for hire and despite the fact you have been working on getting Canadian certifications, qualifications, or experience the time is up so we are sending you back from?"
