• “On Denman island during the winter we have many vacant houses that sit vacant while people are living in terrible situations or homeless... On Denman island we have people listing on Airbnb making as much as four or five times as much for short term rentals... These people would struggle with $1000 rent a month.” — The Islands Grapevine – December 3rd, 2020 (December 3rd, 2020)
