Well there was such great success with privately run old folks homes during the pandemic that it’s worth repeating, right?

What I want is for Mme Duranceau to explain how she plans to motivate the private sector to do anything that limits its access to profit.

May I just say har-dee-fucking-har to the idea that the private sector would ever do anything to make housing MORE affordable. A former high school classmate who’s now a realtor posted about some 700-800k condos going up on Somerled on FB and I commented how NDG used to be a place where a middle class family could live affordably and how sad it is that you basically have to have a couple of high six figure incomes to live there now. He said “actually this is a great price for the area”. I’m sure that absolutely tone-deaf response is what anyone in the biz would say/think. Sustainable community building obviously, OBVIOUSLY, does not enter into how the real estate business works. That’s the government’s job by DEFINITION. FFS.
