One of the things worth considering is the variety in terms of home ownership and rental, etc. One of the things that's somewhat unique about Saint John is that nearly half of our housing is rental. That's low-income and very terrible housing, which we'll hear some more about again in the second panel, but it's also a bit of a norm in Saint John, even with properties that are not low-income properties, that rental is there. It has become an issue in this community because the norm is that if you have the ability you own a house, and that's not necessarily the norm there. It's a small illustration of how we need a nuanced strategy that doesn't become a one-size-fits all strategy.
The housing stock in Saint John is ancient, so that comes with many issues. I was talking to Mayor Darling the other day, and he mentioned even the physical infrastructure. There was a pipe they had just dug up that predated the Civil War. That's our reality. It speaks to the struggle that Randy mentioned in terms of lining up the municipal, federal, and provincial priorities and jurisdictions.
