how in the world suburban sprawl is related to immigration levels? especially on an enormous almost empty country like canada?

the average low wage immigrant looking for a better future cant afford one of those suburbia houses with a backyard and an SUV to match with the whole thing.

the people who live in those soul killing places are usually middle class, jack asses with their fat wives and their annoying depressed emo children!

Canada is NOT "an enormous almost empty country"--only 5% of the land is arable, and that's where most of our 250k+/year immigrants settle (Southern Ontario and Alberta, Lower Mainland). Our freshwater resources are also finite and already overtaxed.

In Canada, the average immigrant (thanks to the Immigrant Entrepreneur program) is middle-to-upper-income. They are the ones buying the suburban homes and SUVs.

Sprawl is the result of population growth, PERIOD, of which immigration is the driver.

america can be such a depressing place to live minus NYC, san francisco or other few cities that sort of break away from the norm of the average boring american city.

I lived in san diego for two years and HATED IT, the weather is nice, the beaches are nice but you have to drive every fucking where, people dont connect, no one talks to the other, even in the city center u still feel like u never left suburbia, Los angeles was the same too.
san francisco was the only good place in california.

California should fall into the ocean so somebody else could have coastal property to ruin.

Suburban sprawl and population (native, immigrant or otherwise) are mutually exclusive issues. Sprawl is an issue having to with the built environment and the institutional and policy barriers that prevent more sustainable and walkable development patterns instead.

Sprawl reform is needed regardless of population growth issues.

Regardless of how many people are in our cities, sticking with grids (for blocks, roads) would help.

All those swirly express/free-ways waste GOBS of adjacent land...
