This week on The Real Escape Investing Podcast, we take a step back and ask: Why does Montreal’s housing market function the way it does? From the seigneurial system and colonial land grants to rent control and zoning chaos, Terrie shares research from her upcoming book Squeezed—a deep dive into the political economy behind the city’s housing contradictions. We trace the evolution of land use and asset classes in Montreal to explain today’s quirks: tenant lifers, underpriced units, and the bureaucratic tangle that frustrates even seasoned landlords. If you've ever asked why is it like this?, this episode’s for you.
