So pre-zoned high density sites can now be picked up at a low price for nonmarket affordable family friendly rental housing, if any level of government wanted to directly build that? Awesome! And yes, I'm being deliberately provocative. /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

@JohnPasalis [Toronto, ON] Opportunity appears? As condo unit pre-sales slow to almost nothing -- there are now "pre-zoned transit-oriented development sites" available that could convert from condo-ownership to new purpose-built rental (PBR) buildings, if the incentives for PBR make sense...

@LeoSpalteholz @DenySully @HousingNowTO @vb_jens The data we have on Québec munis is also very bad. The Rental Market Survey excludes buildings with less than 3 units, which makes up a huge part of the Québec rental stock; duplexes and triplexes.
@LeoSpalteholz @DenySully @HousingNowTO @vb_jens The core point is that setting the target at 3% is putting ourselves in needless scarcity. If the market tips into price spirals when it dips under 3%, why would we set the target at such a precipitous standard?
@LeoSpalteholz @DenySully @HousingNowTO @vb_jens There are also reasons to think that rent growth beats inflation even at 3% vacancy - we had a CMHC presentation about the Rental Market Survey where the presenter admitted that the 3% rule of thumb is apocryphal and that internal data shows prices flatlining at 3.5-4%.
@LeoSpalteholz @DenySully @HousingNowTO @vb_jens Jens' demonstrations are valid and I'm not questioning them. But there are periods in which the vacancy rate was much higher than 3%, and in those periods rents were falling, which is something we chose hope for and work towards.
@LeoSpalteholz @DenySully This is a fair point but CMHC's own data indicate that rent growth slowed down to 0-1% in Montreal when the vacancy rate reached 7% in the 90s. It's also the reason why @HousingNowTO says the best rent control we have is a 7% vacancy rate.
