I expect few people would commute from KW, and that's good. I'd rather our population growth come from job growth rather than becoming a bedroom community.
I think my point is, people assume that KW is growing because people get priced out of Toronto, but I don't see any evidence that's the case. If the stats are correct that more people move from Toronto to Hamilton than KW, but we have much faster population growth than Hamilton, then most of KW's population growth must come from other sources.
