Another con may be that many of the new townhomes and condos in some areas have only very reduced driveway and parking spaces-----we can 't all make do with a bicycle only and always vying for a street parking space isn 't really a new home owner's dream.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, it seems like city planners today are assuming older people will be able to get around and shop etc. by public transit, so therefore less car parking spaces is required. However, they seem to ignore that older people may not be capable of carrying their groceries and other purchases home on the bus. We really need to rethink this direction of reducing parking.

Thank you for this video. My husband and I invested in 2 tiny homes and the infrastructure (hydro, septic, water) for our acreage to rent on Airbnb and hopefully retire one day and live off the income. Sadly my MLA has informed me we will not be able to operate after May 1st. Not sure what we're going to do now... We still owe a lot of money on was supposed to be a long term investment.

Thanks for your note. My wife and I are in the same position where we have a legal licensed short-term rental and are forced to sell as it will not cash flow as a long term rental. The Property Rights Association of BC is a good organization fighting on behalf of affected short-term rental owners. You can google them for their address.

@@garysimsvictoriahomes I am more interested in stock market more than real estate because I watched my former apartment building landlord mother deal with problem tenants. She got me to do the physical work. Real estate dividend paying REIT shares are a lot less hassle than rentals. 🤔

Have you watched both Parts 1 and 2 of this video series? What do you think? Will the banning of short-term rentals solve the affordable housing crisis in B.C. or is this just a political trick to win another election? Let's hear your opinion on this. All reasonable comments will be answered.
@garysimsvictoriahomes
@garysimsvictoriahomes 4 ай бұрын
Are Banning Non-Principal Rentals in B.C. going to benefit people in need of affordable housing? Our view is the new BC Government Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act will not help to achieve this, yet will devastate the legally licenses short-term operations by destroying property values and imposing large GST Tax liabilities. We don't believe it will provide any units affordable by people who really need help but will actually be scooped up by high income workers as discount prices.. What do you think? Please be kind in your responds. Any trolls comments will be immediately removed.
