General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

Bit of a chicken and egg problem, isn't it?

Which part? Birth rates have been dropping for something like half a century, in all of the developed countries, so you can't really argue that it's the apartment sizes in DTK that are causing smaller households.

lol. I literally listened to a podcast this morning arguing the reverse.

I didn’t necessarily agree but I certainly think there’s merit to the argument that housing insufficiency and housing insecurity could depress the birth rate. Certainly the resulting economic challenges is known to play a role.
