just ban Airbnb for long rentals and force corps to not own homes for the purpose of renting them out.
OMG, is it so difficult?
From their perspective, there must be a lengthier, more expensive solution that'll still give money to lobbyists and corporations.
Simple solutions just don't work.
I am 100% for banning Airbnb but I don’t understand why you think this is the simple solution when the problem is that there aren’t enough homes.
Maybe not in Nova Scotia but in Ontario, Quebec and BC there is almost enough already built. It just sits empty
That is not true. Vacancy is pretty much zero in all the major Canadian cities. There is a vacancy tax in BC where they actually measure vacancy and it is extremely low.
