22 Minutes digs into the housing crisis youtu.be/Wun1yVp6z2o?si… via @YouTube
We’re honoured that @HousingLogement will be joining us at this year’s Symposium. Ms. Houle will be leading a session focused on housing as a human right. 👊🎤🏠 We’re fortunate to have her join us during a critical time in Canada's housing crisis.
Canada has enshrined the human right to adequate housing. Governments must never cause harm to people because of disagreements about jurisdiction or failures of coordination. toronto.ctvnews.ca/canada-proving…
The egregious housing discrimination faced by African asylum seekers sleeping on streets exemplifies how government inaction contributes to tensions between equity-deserving groups. This situation has ignited convos re: how different groups of unhoused people are treated…
Systemic anti-Black racism is the ongoing underfunding & defunding of Black-led settlement, shelter, & housing services. It is decentring Black-led efforts, maintaining & restructuring barriers for securing permanent housing for and with Black communities. 2/2
MPP @SarahJama_ calling on yesterday’s #DisabilityPrideMarch crowd to direct their anger at the elected reps in the building in front of them who have the ability and power to change #ODSP & #OW income rates and policies. #TDPM #OntGov
Toronto’s shelter system is consistently over-capacity & a lack of support from the federal gov’t has left many asylum seekers with nowhere to go—forced to sleep outside. This is unacceptable. All levels of gov’t must step up to address this emergency. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
“Various levels of government bicker while human lives are used as political footballs” @Diana_C_McNally reminds the City, province and feds of their #HumanRights obligations to asylum seekers left to sleep on the sidewalk in one of the world’s richest cities/countries
still cannot believe we went from this to this

Toronto, only a few hours left until polls close! This is our final chance to vote in the change we want to see. We need a Mayor who will work quickly to deliver the affordable housing our city urgently needs. Make your voice heard and vote!👇#TOpoli #TorontoMayor

‼️ Reminder that the deadline is tomorrow ‼️ Make your voice heard! The Advocate’s #encampment review will include the stories of the people impacted by the conditions and the criminalization of #encampments.
Connect the dots! We're calling on mayoral candidates to invest in non-police responses to crisis and violence, and safe shelter and housing, so no one needs to shelter on #TTC. The TTC’s “Move Along” initiative is a disturbing plan to hide homelessness. 1 ttcriders.ca/movealong

Here’s proof that I was an OG YIMBY c 1988.
Then go radical b/c we need radical change: * basic income * max. non-market hsg on govt land * land value tax * supply supply supply * curb home speculation by owners & investors * renter rights & eviction prevention led federally Get on it. Time is running out.
So... @NDP @liberal_party you have your work cut out. Get better YouTube social media communicators. Agree that policy decisions of 30-50 years ago (I haven't even started on 1970s 'reform' downzoning) screwed Canada up. Agree that the status quo is unacceptable. Mea your culpa
Another thing that makes HUGE economic sense? More non-profit hsg on govt land! Don't sell your seed corn (land) - use it to kickstart the kind of hsg dvmt you want! Just like Singapore! 10/12 chra-achru.ca/economic-neces…
You hate min parking requirements? Talk to your fellow Conservative @fordnation - one of many rec he dropped from his own housing affordability task force. Again, great market based solutions 9/12 parkade.com/post/donald-sh…
But when it comes to solutions, it's all 'cut govt spending'. YAWN. Agreed on dvmt contributions - immoral to make new renters/buyers pay for infrastructure that serves all. How about land value tax? It is a market-based solution for greater density 8/12 thestar.com/opinion/contri…
Worried about homeless students? Push provinces to provide free tertiary education along with generous student hsg like Germany, my Conservative friend! It makes economic sense! Ask Merkel! 7/12 insidehighered.com/news/2017/04/2…
Stealth socialism alert: PP cites Singapore, where 90% of public land owned by the state, & 80% live in state-created housing as a good practice ! COMRADE! Appropriate all urban land, state-led homebuilding, allocate by need! Power 2 the ppl right on! 6/12 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Meanwhile, low income hsg need has stayed stable 1991-2016, some incr in owner stress. A huge temporary DECREASE in 2021, caused by CERB. So this natural experiment shows that basic income @ubi_works is the quickest way to decrease hsg precarity & homelessness in short term. 5/12
The video talks about the influence of investors. EXCELLENT. You can charge capital gains for rapid house flipping & you can make banks, REITs & pension funds back new affordable hsg. PP brings it up then drops it - don't let him. 4/12 gensqueeze.ca/housing
So really, PP should be looking at reversing a set of mechanisms from the 1970s & 1980s that incentivized owners to treat their homes as investments & de-incented rental builders. 93% of taxes benefit homeowners, not renters. Tax change starts there 3/12 neighbourhoodchange.ca/documents/2014…
The video starts w 2X home prices & rents & increasing homelessness since 2015. True. What's false is that this followed 'generations of stable home prices'. Actually, median home prices in relation to hh income started to rise in the 1980s & got out of control in 2000s. 2/12
At the moment, @PierrePoilievre is the only political leader offering a coherent (although wrong) analysis of (1) what the housing problem is; (2) why is has happened; (3) what needs to happen to solve it. So clutch your pearls, 'cause I'm going to seriously engage with it. 1/12
I agree. From a communications perspective: ✅ Bold take on a vital issue Canadians care about ✅ Explaining a complex issue with visuals ✅ Providing clear solutions Do I agree with those solutions? No. Would I love a real political debate with bold counter-visions? Yes.
@PierrePoilievre is no expert in Housing and his record as a Minister shows it. He doesn’t understand cities. In fact he holds them in contempt. Complaining about high cost land is a recipe for sprawl… and that cost to households let alone the environment is enormous.
Governments should get out of home-building, Poilievre says in visit to View Royal construction site timescolonist.com/local-news/gov…
Spacing's optimism and commitment to building the best possible Toronto has been a driving force for good in our city for two decades. It was great to stop by and join @Spacing magazine to celebrate their 20th anniversary last night. I remember the launch party!
And there is no other space. We all know this. Drop-ins know. Shelters know. Hospitals know. The City knows. In this state of crisis, why are we trying to take away such alternatives as people are able to create?
But the idea that blocking off the churchyard will somehow magically get everyone to go indoors immediately is completely delusional thinking. They ar real people. They are here and they really exist and they can't be made to vanish.
Our encampment was also a place where Streets to Homes workers knew they could find people. The presence of the encampment helped them get into indoor space. EVENTUALLY.
If the City puts concrete blocks all over the churchyard, it won't help anyone get into shelter. They'll just sleep in another park, or in a doorway, or they'll go to an ER to get out of the cold. These are the real choices.
People have gone from the encampment into shelters, or into housing. But they needed somewhere to be in that sometimes lengthy interim period before they could get indoors. Our encampment was known as a safe and supported space.
