    Not arguing there, but GP was saying that a horrendous number of units are vacant which is simply not true. And there are a few cases where being a landlord isn’t hoarding housing away from potential buyers, like in a University neighborhood where students and temporary staff will need access to rental houses. Now, obviously, student housing would be better handled by purpose-built multi-unit rental buildings but city hall says no.
