Where Will All The People Go










As the issue of out-migration from Saint John continues to swirl, there is a question that needs to be answered?

Hypothetical, if everyone who calls the Kennebecasis Valley home were to say they wanted to move into the city, is there enough room?


Dave Cochrane is a realtor with Remax and tells CHSJ News, not a chance because with just over 25,000 people living in Quispamsis and Rothesay alone, there are not enough properties to go around.


Cochrane says if you also take the price of a home for example in Millidgeville, along with the $1.72 tax rate and a lot of people simply can't afford to hang their shingle in Saint John.
