More ‘disturbing’ math

Dear Editor:

A couple months ago, I wrote a letter to the Advertiser (Disturbing math, Aug. 24) that was critical of the aspirations of the various levels of government who promised to build a house every 12 seconds.

I now refer to a press release by the City of Kitchener on Nov. 3 which pledges the construction of 35,000 new homes by 2031.

Some disturbing mathematics translates this pledge into three homes every hour of every work day. Good luck!
