Agreed. Where I live, the government has a very progressive approach on climate change. There is a large carbon tax. Home owners can get a large credit to retrofit their home with a heat pump. Yet in this market, there is a shortage of rental housing, so landlords have little incentive to renovate in any way, let alone to reduce heating costs for tenants.
Like Boston, renters suffer with leaky windows and exorbitant heating bills while home owners tap climate change refit incentives and reap the considerable rewards. Need I also remind everyone that, during the pandemic, almost no home owner had to pay their mortgage, whereas there was no such abatement for renters.
