Love when @jm_mcgrath gets on a soapbox. “… places where mental health outcomes are the worst do not have the worst rates of homelessness. The places where housing is the most expensive are the places with the most homelessness.” We’ll put! Homelessness is a housing problem.
This is an excellent thread on the economics of why we can't 'duplex or triplex' our way out of a housing crisis. I'm going to take it to the next level: what apt options might there be for a 120X30 ft 2 br 1 bath house valued at $900,000 in central Ottawa? 1/8
Disappointing 😔. Sorry to my Halifax friends implicated in “finding prosperity ‘elsewhere’”

The Ontario NDP, Liberal Party, and Green Party have all expressed their support for fourplexes by-right. They are proving that belief in young people, family values, the working class, and strong property rights are not dead. They’re only dead to @fordnation

@ZoeCoombes I constantly say this as well. There is a big difference between something being permissible and it being feasible. I think a lot of work that has been going into zoning reform recently has been to make things permissible but very little has gone into to making it actually…

We’re making life more convenient for Ontario drivers. Starting July 12, we are raising the speed limit permanently from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on ten additional sections of provincial highways in northern and southern Ontario! news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…

THREAD: Small towns in the Maritimes where over 15% of residents mainly walk or bike to work (Census 2021). Starting with... 1. Annapolis Royal (38,1%) – Iconic. Lots to admire and (re)discover on foot. Many attractions, services and even grocery options for a town its size.
One addition. These are some very rough estimates, but this should illustrate why a home that cost $168,000 in 2004 would now cost over $600K if built today.
The city edited its HAF application - height limits in the south end are not going to be loosened more - lowering the units they're allowing in the north end - no longer committing to removing parking minimums This is not good @SeanFraserMP @AndyFillmoreHFX @DarrenFisherNS
Kitchener's $144 million new rec centre gets at the heart of the ethical issue over development charges. New home buyers, many of whom will be entering the market for the first time, will foot the bill for a project that is geared towards use for the entire region.

Local democracy doesn't have to mean reactive spot rezoning process with well known biases. It can be proactive planning and implementation. Maybe even regularly scheduled upzoning for growth determined by representative government with community input (*gasp*).
Unfortunately these arguments are similar to ones made against housing across Canada. This is why we are moving away from public hearing for projects that already fit within a communities plans. Engage communities early, make a plan and then work the plan.

If we were 7 years into a recession with 10%+ unemployment, I’d be very receptive to economist-bashing. We’re years into a housing shortage (<3% vacancy), and many city planners seem to have not reconsidered…anything
Haven't updated my gross migration graphs in a while. BC with modest net internal out-migration, ON outflows easing a bit, AB still registering strong inflows QC continuing with steady modest outflows.
If Ontario municipalities adopted this code as-of-right, especially the two structures per lot allowance, the housing crisis would practically disappear in many cities without any boundary expansions.
Burlington’s new Zoning is mostly unprecedented in New England. Really only comparable to ambitious reforms like Minneapolis and Sacramento. Two buildings now allowed on every parcel, multifamily along major bus routes, 4-plexes allowed everywhere.
This is an excellent thread on the economics of why we can't 'duplex or triplex' our way out of a housing crisis. I'm going to take it to the next level: what apt options might there be for a 120X30 ft 2 br 1 bath house valued at $900,000 in central Ottawa? 1/8
