I remember friends squatting in foreign bought apartments in downtown Vancouver 15 or so years ago. Like, floors of luxury buildings empty because it was all a parking space for cash. I have no idea if this will have a significant effect, but, it was so bizarre for me (I'm originally from Detroit) to see these basically empty luxury buildings. It was such a topic when I started University in Vancouver, I can't count the number of times it came up. I personally think the city looks depressing, and Toronto isn't far behind. This is just a personal opinion based on my experiences, but it's so strange when a "dense" area is empty, it feels like a ghost town, like the amount of residential space in Vancouver and the way the streets felt was just so bizarre to me.
