CBC: Canada’s booming self storage industry is driven by “the six Ds”

[Self Storage Industry] insiders say demand for storage is driven by “the six Ds”:

  • Divorce
  • Death
  • Dislocation
  • Downsizing
  • Disaster
  • Density

Add to that list the price of real estate in Canada. It’s less expensive to rent a locker for about $200 a month than it is to buy a bigger home, with space for your winter tires, golf clubs, skis and bikes.
