So is your advice to renters to move to Okotoks or live in a tent?
My point is that prices for rents and parking is based on supply and demand. The city, in its infinite wisdom, decided to mess with the supply of parking, in effort to persuade the use of alternative transport. A noble goal, but not feasible for hundreds of thousands in the city, given the urban sprawl that the city allowed for/tacitly endorsed.
If Nenshi wants to talk about high rents and that secondary suites might be a solution, fine. But for him to take shots at landlords for gouging, is ridiculous. Maybe he should complain about Esso and the price of gas, or beak off about the price of milk at 7-11. Or maybe he should keep his mouth shut.
