Fragile foundations: The legacy of housing policy and financialization in Saint John
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This MA Thesis examines the history of housing policy in Saint John to better understand its contemporary housing landscape. Saint John is a mid-sized city in Eastern Canada in the province of New Brunswick in the midst of a housing crisis. This housing crisis is a consequence of the financialization of housing and the public-private affordable housing sector. Saint John's housing landscape has become attractive for financialization. This is largely due to past housing policies which have shaped the city and made it particularly vulnerable to the consequences of the financialization of housing. Through socio-historical analysis, this paper examines past housing policies which shaped the city of Saint John and its contemporary financialized housing context. The socio-historical analysis will be supplemented by insight from interviews with workers and executives in the Saint John nonprofit housing sector. This will suggest that past housing policies have paved the way for the financialization of Saint John’s housing and affordable housing initiatives are perpetually undermined by landlords and other members of the owning class.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
