Today's episode is a return to our semi-regular feature called Move Smartly ideas, where Urmi and John unpack and discuss some of the bigger issues impacting the housing market in Toronto and Canada.

This week, Urmi and John return to talking about some of the 'big numbers' in housing policy and economics. This time, we talk about how Canada's population growth impacts our housing market and affordability issues and why we can't 'build our way' out of the problem. Also, why investor demand is hard to measure and why it is of particular importance.
