Someone bought a century home in Saint John and is allowing it to rot. The buyer apparently lives in Toronto and doesn’t care that the building is falling apart.
This is shitty. Someone has the money for “an investment”, which means other people don’t get somewhere to live.
IIRC Winnipeg is in the process of implementing one, but it only applies to vacant single family buildings, not vacant multi-tenant ones.
It’s start, but it needs to go farther.
