n3m37hOntario may soon count student residences as homes to reach housing goal
Retirement spaces—okay if it’s expected that citizens will live there long-term.
Student residences—specifically intended to be used only for a short, fixed term. These do need to be built, but they are not housing for any useful definition of housing.
They should be built by the universities and colleges that profit off the students. They certainly should not be getting subsidized or funded by government as a “housing stimulus” which is what I am worried will happen if they count student residences as housing.
Alison Meeks@FireRetardant @nyan That said being in a university city they chew up a grotesque amount of available housing.
