Suburban Health Risk ...

Pollution is a health risk in the city. The are recent research results linking childhood asthma to air pollution. This prompts people to live in the suburbs where there is cleaner air. However, as more people live in the suburbs the farther their homes are from jobs and the city centers. This distance is rarely serviced by public transport which means the daily commute to and from work must be done by car. 572 liters of fuel per car is consumed over a year in a 10 kilometer distance from home to work which generates the pollutants that cause childhood asthma. Thus, in their effort to save their children from childhood asthma, people unknowingly contribute largely to the asthma that occurs in city dwellers.

At the population increase rate of 10,000 people per year and an assumed rate of 2 people per car ownership, 5,000 new cars enter the city every year if all the 10,000 take suburban homes. This is a 2.86 million liters of fuel per year increase. If all people live in in-city high rise homes, this increase in pollutants is eliminated. Thus, a Real Estate Agent, like a Toronto Real Estate Agent, should be rewarded for every in-city homes sold to new people or transferees from the suburbs.

In-city land have a tendency to increase in value over time. This is because increasing financial success increases work load. This requires hiring more people. However, hiring more people requires in an increase in office space. More office space for an entire city requires more office buildings at the rate of increase of jobs. Increasing number of jobs attract more people.Thus, the rate of increase of office buildings is proportional to the rate of increase of the population.

Toronto increases population by 100,000 people a year. Assuming 1 worker per household of 3 people, there should be 33,000 new workers every year. Assuming an average office space of 2 meters by 3 meter or 6 square meters, there must be an annual increase of about 200,000 square meters of office space. Assuming a 1,000 square meter foundation, this requires eight (8), 25-floor office buildings every year. Since office buildings require proximity to the financial centers it supports, the cheaper residential areas are often bought and converted to office buildings. This makes other residential land increase in value as more and more people compete for the dwindling numbers of in-city Toronto Homes. Thus, Toronto Homes for Sale are prime real estate and are good investment opportunities.
