You learn something new everyday. 
Another hot take on it, would be that limited supply due to restrictive land-use policies, during boom-times has created a untenable situation for most renters in which inflation has outstripped wage growth in HRM. So much, as to create a homeless population so large that is spilling into the parks and common areas of the city.
All the while being downplayed by homeowners who are too worried about protecting the spike in the value of their homes (retirement funds) then tackle the supply issues facing the city.  |
If a government was keen to to build/own/encourage housing for low income people it would do so. The McNeil government had ZERO interest in housing.
Our home is certainly worth a lot more than it was 2 years ago. Cheap money, location and COVID have driven prices. My PC sign in the recent election was outnumbered by 9 to 1 for the Dippers. Feel free to expand on your theory of 'restrictive land use policies' - our lot is 2,549 sq ft. Our block has 25 units on the length of 260 feet.
