Gee that’s funny, I thought this was precisely what Richard Ryan said we couldn’t do in Mile End to keep Saint Viateur from getting hollowed out. How peculiar.
In other news the “new” Laurier BBQ on St. V & Jeanne-Mance that Shiller-Lavy kicked out the patisserie for is papered over now.

There’s a fine line between allowing storefronts to remain empty and letting entire buildings fall into ruin.

From that article I don’t think the law is making that distinction, just that fines will be tougher if the building is allowed to fall into disrepair.
Back in the “save Mile End” protests we were just asking for a vacancy tax, and Ryan was literally saying that was unrealistic and impossible. Of course that wasn’t true, but Ryan was good at toeing the party line & not making waves – which is why unlike Norris he was still allowed to talk to the public.

I noticed today that Vancouver’s vacancy tax has brought in roughly $150 million for that city in two or three years–and put 4,000 rental suites back on the market

“Derelict” and “Vacant” are not the same thing; I wonder if this will be enforced upon derelict-but-occupied buildings.
