it’s not the government’s place to own single family houses for rent

all provincial governments should have a non profit crown corporation owning all rental properties over a certain number of doors though

Why the arbitrary distinction? What’s so special about the number 1 here?

The level of maintenance per unit and the density issues caused by single family housing means they’re a luxury item and not a necessity, the government should be there to make sure everyone has acceptable living conditions (a private bedroom for everyone, a kitchen, bathroom and livingroom per household…) not to provide them enough space to have a home theater room or a bedroom used as a walk-in.
