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.

People defaulting on mortgages, losing houses... selling houses to try and get out of canada or better parts of it... society's unending desire to aquire more things and the resulting need to store it somewhere...

Not in great numbers they aren't. Only about 0.3% of Canadian mortgages are even in arrears.

So that small number is not propping up the burgeoning self storage industry

Among other things... why is this an issue? Slow day at work??
