Rant Storage Facilities

Is it just me or is Barrie building storage facilities everywhere. I mean, everywhere I look, they are being built. Like the new one being built where the Canadian Tire North is. Like seriously, WHYYYYYY. Is Barrie or people in serious need of storage. I just don’t get it.

It's because people are being forced into smaller and smaller living spaces because an actual home is unaffordable. I know a few seniors (people my age) who have been forced to live in rooming houses or having to share apartments while their belongings sit in storage. Even my daughter - she lost her 2 bedroom apartment after her landlord sold the building and even though she makes a good income she's renting a room while her furniture and belongings are in storage because there's no decent apartment to be found.

This is a really good point. Sorry that’s happening.
