No, create a quota that 60% of the rental housing needs need to be developed by nonprofits
@B2HMZCY7 days7D
It’s been made very clear that the government has no interest in doing so however I do feel that the housing market has gone beyond outrageous in terms of pricing and affordability
@B2C6CJZ2wks2W
Yes, but not until the housing market stabilizes and cost of living which greatly effect the cost of mortgages and other expenses that in turn make the cost of rent fluctuate area to area
@B2BMK7B3wks3W
Yes, & ban corporate & foreign investors from purchasing residential real estate.
@B29H2J53wks3W
There should be regulations on how much a landlord can increase rent year over year, but building additional housing should be the priority.
@B26DKV31mo1MO
Yes, but only in buildings with ten apartments and above
@B23CRQ32mos2MO
Yes, housing is a basic right and should be free of charge.
@9S3NX6K6mos6MO
It depends as rent caps can also have the opposite effect you tell someone this is the max you can charge they are going to charge that every time regardless of actual value
