Is that to prevent people from gentrifying MTL next, or is that a serious comment? Having visited, I think the sentiment can easily swing either way.

It was totally to prevent gentrification. After Vancouver and Toronto, Montreal is on that same path. Just a bit farther from Asia.

Definitely. I think Berlin as well, the housing there seems remarkably affordable relative to incomes.
