Best aspects (respondent's words): I would argue that we already have a lot of market rate housing and that the costs will begin to drive people out of the area if rent is not capped. I could see low income housing being beneficial since the suburb has various levels of income, which is why it could be useful to have a mixed setting for the building with rent capped on all units. This setting can benefit multiple types of families.
Worst aspects (respondent's words): This would not be beneficial to anyone since rents are increasing to such a high rate and such a fast pace. It'll outprice current families and displace them.
