Why Don't Vacant Home Taxes Work?

Saison 1 · Épisode 68

mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Durée 17:16

Cities across Canada are implementing vacant home taxes to address the issue of homes sitting empty. These taxes aim to encourage owners to sell or rent out their vacant properties. Economist Mike Moffatt and journalist Cara Stern discuss the challenges in implementation of these taxes including issues with reporting and enforcement. Studies have shown that these taxes have had a small but positive impact in getting homes back on the market, without slowing down housing construction.

Should Cities Require Density, or Encourage It?

Saison 1 · Épisode 58

mercredi 31 juillet 2024 • Durée 19:33

This conversation explores the intersection of the Yes In My Backyard movement and urbanism, focusing on the question of whether the end goal is to legalize or require dense, walkable neighborhoods.

Mike and Cara discuss the benefits of walkable neighborhoods, the challenges of legalizing density, and the impact of taxation and development charges. They also consider the future of cities if these barriers to density were removed, including the potential for more low-rise and missing middle homes. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the role of private backyards and the trade-offs between density and suburban living.

Saison 1 · Épisode 52

mercredi 10 juillet 2024 • Durée 23:05

In this discussion, economist Mike Moffatt and journalist Cara Stern talk about the different types of temporary residents, the support they receive from the government, and the impact they have on the economy and labour market.

Why Single Stairways are Heaven for Homebuilding - Interview with Conrad Speckert

Saison 1 · Épisode 51

mercredi 3 juillet 2024 • Durée 25:56

If you get deep enough into the conversation about the housing crisis, you're inevitably going to hear the words "single egress". A lot of people, especially in Canada, think that the country is too strict with its stairwell rules, which require multiple exits for almost every multi-storey apartment building.

Conrad Speckert, intern architect at LGA Architectural Partners, thinks this needs to change, and tells Mike and Cara why.
