Toronto's pro-housing movement. More Neighbours in more neighbourhoods, with access to more jobs, more infrastructure, and more culture than ever before.
How has home building changed over the last century? On March 26, join historian @HanaSuckstorff to trace the history of a single Toronto property. From 1900s bureaucracy to modern "neighborhood character" debates, see how one building tells the story of our city. Join us!
A Toronto-area mayor has used powers handed to him by the Ford government to veto a council decision that would have allowed four units as-of-right in his city, suggesting the change would have put undue stress on transport networks and parking. globalnews.ca/news/11728382/… #onpoli
Markham’s mayor for the first time has used his strong mayor powers… to block city-wide 4plexes that council approved. Presumably this puts in jeopardy the federal housing money the city has already agreed to, as this was a condition of those funds. markham.ca/sites/default/…

@JShamess The "Angular Planes" policy is just one example (of many) where the City's #AffordableHousing & #GreenBuilding "goals" run smack into the road-blocks of "#UrbanDesign Guidelines" which are untethered from the Financial-Reality of 2020's Construction-Costs. twitter.com/CBCToronto/sta…
Yesterday, the city of Toronto made progress unlocking our major streets to allow for buildings 6-storeys and up to 60 units (with built form restrictions) by-right. Thank you to the hard work of @oliviachow @BradMBradford @gordperks and others securing this important reform!
