Censoring rent prices would not encourage developers to come and invest in real estate and might be one of the multiple causes of the housing crisis, believes Gabriel Fortin, alias Josfinance.

According to the specialist, it is important to allow the price “to float freely” rather than trying to freeze them.

“Prices are a communication system. This is how investors and entrepreneurs understand that there is demand, that this demand is high and that it is attractive to invest in real estate to build rental units,” he said. -he explained Monday on QUB radio.

“But when we put price control measures in place, we stifle this signal and then the economic agents do not know that it is attractive, the profitability is not there and that creates the problem that “We currently have,” said Gabriel Fortin.

Thus, letting prices float would direct necessary resources where demand is high. “Currently, we do not have this signal, which means that construction is in deficit,” he stressed.

Units too old

According to Josfinance, increasing real estate construction would free up old housing which is sometimes older, and therefore less expensive.

“The real estate stock in Quebec is extremely old, with 70% of the units were built before 1979. These units will be less expensive than the new ones, but there must be a significant volume that comes in, otherwise the transfer will not happen. don’t,” he said.

September 19, 2023Hardware in general It has become a hot topic in various overseas media outlets that a description of the specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2 was found in an internal email from Activision that was released as a result of the dispute between Microsoft and the FTC. On the website of the US Courts, emails between Activision’s Zerza Armin and Schnakenberg Chris have been made public, and the emails contain two messages titled “2022.12.1_Nintendo_Exec_Summary.pdf” and “NG Switch Draft.pdf.” There are two files attached. Judging from the file names, these attachments seem to be related to the next generation Switch (NG Switch / Next Generation Switch). The contents of the attached file are as follows. Switch NG – Exec Summary Considering that it is close to the Gen 8 platform in terms of performance and the previous products (game titles) on PS4 / Xbox One, it is possible to create something attractive on NG Switch. It would be reasonable to think that. If we can get prototype development hardware, we’ll be able to prove it early. Most of the content is blacked out, so we don’t know the context or details, but foreign media outlets such as The Verge and Neowin have cited PS4 and Xbox One for the next-generation Switch, suggesting that the Switch 2 will be the next generation Switch. It is reported that the performance will be similar to PS4 and Xbox One. However, if the above description is really regarding the performance of Switch 2, it is a little unnatural that only such important parts are not blacked out among so many blacked out parts. Of course, it is possible that the person who did the blacking (I don’t know who) simply did not notice, but it is also quite possible that the description is not directly related to performance. At present, you should not take it with a grain of salt and look at it with the understanding that it may or may not be on par with the performance of PS4/Xbox One.
