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.

Not a bad idea, so long as the secondary property has utility. I'm thinking cottagers and those with Cabins in the woods can be taxed out of their long weekend/summer stays, but it doesn't add to where homes are needed.
