It's a similar situation in Canada, but with the added problem of horribly flawed immigration policies that have flooded the country with a huge number of foreigners each year. While this has been going on for decades now, it has really intensified over the last nine years.

The equivalent of a large (by Canadian standards) city's worth of people is being added each year, but there is nowhere near that much residential construction taking place in total.

As long as Canadians live 4 to a bed, the housing situation is keeping up.

Maybe it can be like hot desking at the office. Just have to make sure you and your roommates work opposing shifts.
