And that is my point. Recently the conversation has been to single out the foreign investor as the sole culprit and hold up a foreign buyer tax as the sole solution. We aren't Vancouver, though as I said above, maybe in Richmond Hill or parts of Markham you could make the case but the vast...
I don't get why people are holding to this foreign buyer idea! Yes more have decided to come here but no, they are not the sole reason for this insane increase! We are living in a time with quite a few things contributing to this.

To be honest, I really don't think they should replace the building. It's not ideal but it certainly is not a horrible place.
Positive points include its location, size, versatility. They should focus on repairing/servicing the roof, cleaning the concrete exterior(This can be done they have...
