    Something’s gotta give… one would think. We need inspectors with actual teeth enforcing absentee ownership, illegal airB&B stuff etc. in Canada. And real affordable high-density housing, not chi-chi upper-end condo complexes that only the rich can afford (and NO corporate purchasing in bulk of entire neighbourhoods, which I hear is a big thing in the US recently).

      I’m legitimately curious what the government will do about this. When a 1 bedroom requires 3,000 a month, what then?
