B.C.’s Cortes Island is making housing history as the first community in the province to tax short-term holiday rentals and have the funds directed to affordable housing projects, said Mark Vonesch, the area’s Strathcona Regional District director.

    So I’m understanding you correctly then. Let’s do nothing and hope things get better on their own.

    Thankfully, we don’t need to agree on this, but personally, I prefer taking active steps to resolving our problems instead of just sitting back and watching them get worse.

      Nope, we should do nothing so that it gets worse faster, so that it can get better sooner.

      The difference we have is that you think the system can be fixed now. I don’t think it can be fixed until homeowners aren’t the majority of voters.
