People are not cheering for a recession, they are cheering because shelter is a necessity of life that many average Canadians are no longer able to afford as a result of result of foreign and domestic speculators that treat our housing market like a casino. You may say that people can move to cheaper town, but those longer commutes have a cost too. To name a few, we will need to build more roads and infrastructure, there will be more pollution in our air because of traffic, and families will have less time to spend together.  These are but a few of the costs, the impacts of which to the health of our society could be significant.
