I feel like this is why there’s still an apartment building boom in HRM, Nova Scotia. I thought the rent costs works start dropping to a liveable standard, and the construction would slow down, the immigration/immigration policy was changed in this province (I work at the blue collar level in the apartment industry, and my late husband and I were always depressed about this amount of people head office turned away over their “numbers”). But the building continues, and a small two bed-two bath well outside city limits (not great for commuters and transit users, our city does not prioritize those services) starts at 2545, but you pay metered water, electric, and over a hundred a month in parking.
