There is also no demand in Sault Ste. Marie...which I know because I am on a one-year teaching sabbatical here...

So let me ask you, Cuevas - and by implication, the expert from Peggy's article - if the Sault city government decided to adopt the urban containmet policy, would speculators line up to buy SSM property? Or would you need to see some demand increases in order for speculators to fly in?

The real estate guy - and Peggy - have an ideological axe to grind (and sell to the public), and I didn't rush to post this...I read the article, the preceding comments, THEN wrote mine...perhaps you should try that approach as well, and maybe resist making inferences that you can't substantiate with your logic.
