Show Notes
Heidi Miller, a long-time Montreal housing co-op resident, warns against Quebecs Bill 20, which could penalize co-op members with higher incomes. This bill aims to free up spots in affordable housing but may displace stable residents who contribute to these communities. Co-ops are not just cheap rentals; theyre tight-knit communities where members work together. The bill could disrupt this balance, as higher earners often handle the heavy lifting. Residents and co-op leaders are pushing back, arguing that rich people dont join these spots and that forcing out successes kills the incentive to thrive. An advocacy group warns that the bill ignores the need to build more non-profit housing. The bills fate hangs in the balance as more talks loom.
