The Research All Points in the Same Direction: Adding More Homes Curbs Rents for Low-Income Tenants - Metropolitan Abundance Project

The Center on Poverty and Inequality at Georgetown Law made a surprising and contrarian argument in a new paper: adding more homes does not benefit low-income tenants. Three recent separate analyses of exactly this issue – by real estate economist Jay Parsons, real estate economist Kevin Erdmann, and also The Pew Charitable Trusts – all […]

MSD document says there's 'no evidence' hundreds of New Zealanders are without shelter

When RNZ put those comments to the ministry, it said they did not reflect its views and should not have been included in the internal briefing.

Developers Ask for Mandatory Affordable Housing Fee Holiday as Permits for New Apartments Dry Up

I agree with the idea of reducing MHA fees to encourage the building of more general housing, which, IMO, will increase the overall number of available units and in turn push the housing cost down for us. OTOH, I've seen a counter argument that says the more number of units doesn't translate into more affordable rents. What's the basis of that argument?

Finally! Labor’s gearing up to fix the 50% CGT discount that’s been turbocharging intergenerational inequality & tilting housing towards wealthy investors for decades. Inquiry nails it: workers pay double the tax rate on wages than speculators do on property windfalls. Time to make housing homes again, not just tax-advantaged assets. Big win for fairness if Chalmers delivers in May.

Seven times over the past two winters, doctors, nurses and staff in the emergency department of a busy downtown Toronto hospital took a moment of silence after a patient died from the cold - and they've revived four who were on the brink of death by hypothermia. Note: a study found that 72% of hypothermia events occurred when it was warmer than -15 C.

Cold-related deaths among Toronto's homeless population are preventable and take toll on hospital staff | CBC News

Many Toronto hospitals' emergency rooms become de facto shelters for those who do not have a home. No doctor wants to discharge a patient into the cold, especially at night in the heart of winter. So St. Michael's Hospital figured out a solution: a partnership with a nearby shelter, Haven.
