    They should be pushing to restrict these rental company assholes from buying all the houses and preventing potential owners from getting them. “Landlord” is not a job.

      They should only allow Build Canada Homes to sell to first time home buyers, Co-operatives, and not-for-profit Community Land Trust.

      Corporate and “mom and pop” investors must be barred from buying these units. Otherwise, the problem will not go away.

        I mean, if they can make a meaningful increase in supply, no investor is going to want to hold onto a house in that market. You might get that result without having to enforce it.
