Housing affordability one of the main issues as cabinet meets for three days in P.E.I.

I lived in Charlottetown for a bit, and the students don't have anywhere to stay either. Before the pandemic, enrollment was way down because there was just nowhere to live.

AirBNBs everywhere though. There was this one apartment building being built, that was only greenlit under the condition that it wouldn't become short term rentals, that surprise, just before it was finished they changed their mind and opened it up to short term rentals.

Under 1% vacancy even during the parts of the year where there weren't any students.
