ArchElite perspective

Editorial analysis: operational considerations for project teams, not additional reported facts.

Included as a market comparison, not a claim about ArchElite service availability in Canada. Teams using the economists' comments in a feasibility discussion should distinguish current affordability indicators from assumptions about future supply, and identify the geography and period behind each comparison. The reported warning is a scenario to examine, not proof that the same outcome will occur in a U.S. market.
