Social housing limit adjusted
CTV reports on Quebec adjusting the income limit for social housing but the photo at bottom isn’t an illustration of the story. It illustrates a different problem: a lot of residential buildings stand empty in Montreal, and it’s not just because of AirBnB. I saw so many empty flats and houses while doing census work last summer, all around Villeray and Petite-Patrie.

Which is why we need a registry and a tax on vacancy. A vacant apartment should be assumed to be commercially taxed if not rented, as it’s not residential.
