Just curious: given the 1M Canadian population increase in the last 9 months, and the no-end-in-site lack of affordable rental units, are the city/province trying to push 2x or 3x the existing unit count when a rent-controlled building is being demolished for a new development? Seems like a no brainer to add a few extra floors with non-luxury rental units? I made that one of the comments I made to the city as a current tenant of 55 Brownlow.
