As a former resident of downtown Toronto… Property taxes are a joke. They should crank up property taxes on any property that isn’t a primary residence to close the gap. Fuck the short-term-rental hoarders. I’ve always told my city councillor that I wanted to live in a nice, clean city where everyone gets their needs met, and pools and parks are open and staffed appropriately – and that higher property taxes were an acceptable way to make that happen.

They could probably afford to buy a house if this idea was implemented. :)

I don’t know about a house but yeah, it should force landlords with unsustainable costs to sell. 😅
