The hard reality is that Mr. Pearson doesn't owe anything to 'those priced out of the market completely'. He had nothing to do with the forces that created the market value of his home. The City is simply trying to force Mr. Pearson to subsidize 'affordable' housing by using heritage as a ploy to reduce the current market value of his property. Mr. Pearson didn't allow the capital that inflated the market to flow into Canada, so why should he be thrown under the bus for a problem he didn't create?
