Bâtiments vacants et vétustes appartenant à Montréal: il coûterait moins cher à la Ville de les reconstruire que de les rénover

AI Article Summary
The City of Montreal owns 78 vacant and deteriorating buildings, and it would be cheaper to rebuild them than renovate due to their poor conditions. Some notably decrepit structures, like the former Dickson incinerator, are so worn down that repair costs surpass their replacement value. Criticism arises as these buildings remain unused amidst a housing and homelessness crisis, with suggestions to incentivize affordable housing developments. The city's plan involves selling some buildings at favorable terms to organizations for residential use.
