St-Michel: suspicious fire in house
There was a suspicious fire overnight in a residential building in St-Michel. Anodyne news story, but what crossed my mind immediately is: why is a residential building (with at least 3 flats in it) standing empty during a housing shortage?

I suspect it’s an AirBnB. There’s a place near me that’s had For Rent signs out for months saying “fully furnished, perfect for student” – I bet they’re trying to fill it at some overpriced level fully furnished until the short-term rental market comes back.
