The Railroad to Heaven

The photo is taken in Toronto, Canada and shows the new condo district being built. It represents the ever growing immigration the country is barely managing to cope with. Housing prices have become so high that people can't afford their own home and have to rent. Even constant expansion of the cities and overwhelming amount of ongoing construction can't stop the lightning speed housing prices grow with.
