blackjack you missed my point, people are NOT living in tents and RV's to save money they are families that have moved to resource based communities and cannot find housing. There is quite a difference. I highly doubt that any sane family would choose to live in a tent in an Alberta winter !
Many of these folks can afford housing but in most resource based communities there is a lack of developed lots, infrastructure and contractors to build homes.
I agree that far too many people are getting deeper and deeper in debt, and when things slow down and their income slows with it they are bound to be in serious financial difficulties.
There seems to be the mindset among many younger and some not so young folks that the money is coming in in bucket fulls so we may as well live the high life while we can.
That is where the farming mentality comes in handy, most of us know the boom and bust and have learned to save for a rainy day.
As far as people who are not in a position to capitalize on the current booming economy goes, many of those are working at jobs that barely keep the wolf from the door, and perhaps do not have skill sets to get higher paying positions. Many of these folks do not have adequate housing, let alone homes with rooms to rent !
Oh well, we can choose Oberg for premier his platform certainly sounds like a nannystate to me !!
