This is what happens when housing becomes an asset for investors who have no plans to ever step foot in the units they buy Our housing supply problem is not just about how much we build, but what we build

Imagine having to design housing to suit the people that will actually live in it: With investors shying away from condos, developers are marketing to end users — and that means changing everything from the balconies to the bedrooms thestar.com/business/2020/06…
