Cannot afford to live AT HOME

Living in an area between Kincardine and Collingwood, our economy in greatly effected by Intrawest and the Nuclear Generating Station near Tiverton.
With the Nuclear Generating Station, the cost of living, cost of Real Estate increased by a very large percentage.
Intrawest near Collingwood also increased the cost of living, cost of Real Estate. Intrawest stated they would create 10,000 jobs affecting the area from Tobermory to Barrie. As we are all aware The Nuclear Generating Station has created a lot of jobs , high paying jobs while Intrawest has 90% of their jobs in the service industry, minimum wage.
This all sounds good for the economy but is it?
"As I See It" both of these situations are great for Hydro workers and tourists, because one with high wages will choke the people that do not have jobs at the generating station, because of high cost of living , and Intrawest attracts people to the area with money willing to pay anything for this life style.
While a lot of money is generated it makes the cost of living out of reach for the people that live here, making area workers, servants to the wealthy that can afford 2 million dollar second or third homes
The only people that cannot afford this lifestyle are the people that do the work that makes the lives of the wealthy easier , while struggling to keep the wolf away from their own door.
