lol i am an engineer and i have done a thesis Dave, it's an Australian trait to have a laugh at one's self. You're right though, engineering humor aint the best! i was trying to unwind you but you seem intent on being wound up! I have it on good authority that Canadians are the Australians of the northern hemisphere - just maybe they haven't learnt to laugh at themselves once in a while!
they're your figures by the way.
150k workers represent 375k people to be housed using your 2.5 people per house figure, you dont think they just file in as singles do you? then on top of that you have 150k pop growth (your figures) = 525k.
