Impact analysis
Landlords saved big, but the city's coffers are missing out on millions because of how they're counting vacant units.
Lucky landlords who got the tax break are definitely cashing in, while the city is losing out on potential funds.
The city itself is harmed by lost revenue, and other landlords are harmed by having to pay potentially millions more.
