Canada's Infrastructure Problem

Canada's Infrastructure Problem2 mrt13 min

<p>Every new home in Canada starts $107,000 in the hole before anyone picks up a hammer. Not the house. Just the pipes, the roads, and the water underneath it. And we need 3.5 million of them. In this episode, I break down the real math behind Canada&#39;s housing crisis, why municipalities own 60% of infrastructure but only get 8 to 10 cents of every tax dollar, how Toronto&#39;s development charges went up 906% in 15 years, and what countries like Japan, Vienna, and New Zealand actually did to fix it. I&#39;m a CPA with 15+ years in finance. I don&#39;t have all the answers, but I know how to read the numbers. And the numbers are telling a pretty clear story.</p><p>Follow Calm Money Coach on Instagram, Youtube, and TikTok for more. CALMMONEYCOACH is my Handle everywhere. calmmoney.ca</p><p><br></p><p></p>
