"But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let's face it, it's low-income people who have this problem — that's a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes."

Since we have a terrible housing crisis, my belief is a residential home should be owned by a family and not corporations or international invovlement. Apartments can be like our Strata Condo we live in, the strata is a legal corporation but only owners of the units belong to it. We had a no rental clause. But our Canadian government overrules that during the pandemic.
