Do we want our economy hotter?

Gazette has an odd piece about how to heat up Montreal’s economy, but why? To whose benefit? Talk to anyone who lives in a hot-economy city and it’s a litany of complaints about the difficulties of finding affordable living space and the high cost of living generally.

It’s the quality of life in Montreal that has set it apart. Sacrificing that for a fast buck would be crazy – unless you’re a greedy investor.
