"The House" [Reflections On Book The Canadian Economy Series B-13 - Housing]
In Canada a house and home
Are critical, for those who roam
Around are destined to get cold,
And have no shelter when they’re old.A job needs house, needs land beneath,
So costs rise up – when people see
A town has place that’s good to live,
Economy high-ratings give.The price of land, one year behind
A housing rise – but I am blind
To lag of housing to careers;
Quite volatile those are, one fears.The boomers caused a housing spike
With working wives – with market tight,
The crisis soared in eighties, then
A rest, now old, they’re back again.Our people look to science, Moon,
As new frontier, assistance soon;
How ’bout we push those tiny homes
At micro cost – not endless tomes.Like 3-D printing – China-like;
Or house in greenhouse – Swedish – tight
So winter air is kept at bay,
With geo-thermal deep in clay?Like “buy umbrella in the sun” –
A roof bought now for everyone
Cuts cost of larger aging need,
By shuffled houses – planted seed.Thanks Lord for this.
