        True! What’s your point?

        Someone putting a basement suite in their home isn’t removing a purchasable dwelling from the market, it’s adding to the number of available dwellings.

            Oh that is funny. Normal renters dont take care of a unit let alone a person that is homeless. And many problems are out of the ability of almost everyone. Is the homeless person going to replace the HVAC system?
