This approach is actually pretty close. I think you just didn't pick a
good way to count the avail = true rows.
I think you can replace the above with:
select t0.code, t0.address, t0.mun, t1.code as t1code, t1.pname 
count(t2.code) as t2total, count(case when t2.avail then 1 else NULL) as 
t2avail from t0, t1, t2 where t2.t0_fk = t0.code and t2.t1_fk=t1.code 
group by t0.code, t0.address, t0.mun, t1.code, t1.pname
