    The home show’s 570-square-foot pre-fab feature garden suite for instance, is selling for just over $200,000.

    Well at this price, one has to rent it for $1200+ and someone has to give you a loan for that. I think we have a lot of space for rooming the existing houses before people get to this. Some people rent single rooms for this much in Toronto these days. Heck I don’t know if we’re even out of basements yet.

      That price has to come down by at least 50% before most people could consider building one. I have space on my side yard to put a suite with parking and everything, but there is no way I can afford that price tag.

        Depends. If you use triple-stacked bunks, you can probably fit 2-3.
