"If anywhere in Canada inspired a program to build thousands of fourplexes, it is Quebec." "The government of Quebec should sign the deal and let Montreal get to work building the type of medium density housing that it is already famous for." construisonsmtl.ca/en/blog/let-mo…
WOW... this one is *huge* (and nerdy). The federal government is bringing back a 10% Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance for purpose-built rentals. This was one of the key recommendations of both the National Housing Accord and Blueprint for More and Better Housing.
We can and will solve the housing crisis, here’s how: infrastructure.gc.ca/housing-logeme…
However, this needed to be offset by opening up more infill land for development. It needed to be offset by legalizing density. We didn't do that part of it. So instead of more people = more places to build, we did more people and fewer places to build.
One reason: Development charges. Back in 2004, the development charges to build that home were $5,000. They're now $47,000. Across the economy, prices are up 50% since September 2004. But in London, ON, development charges are up 812%!
Thread time! Here's the TL;DR version. Even if we could build homes for next-to-nothing, we're not going to bring back affordability for middle-class Ontario families unless we tackle high development charges and land costs. Here's why.
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.

I feel like this shouldn't have to be said, but: It is impossible to create attainable housing for middle-class families when per-home development charges are in the six figures. The math simply does not work.

B.C. Premier David Eby on fed housing announcement: “We think it’s critically important to tie infrastructure funding to a clear commitment to build housing.... If provinces don’t step up, if they don’t do this, the money should come to the provinces who are doing the work.”
“We need every region to commit to reforms or else the crisis will only spread and worsen in new areas. This should be a signal for Premiers leaning toward NIMBY policies to re-evaluate...” Whomst could I be referring to?

The myth that greenspace is incompatible with high density is just that: a myth. In addition, building densely protects sensitive wetlands and agricultural land from sprawl. Building infill density is an environmental imperative.

Doug Ford's decision to cave to the NIMBY mob will have downstream effects on Halifax's housing crisis People are moving here more than ever from Ontario because of how unaffordable it is, and their Premier is now saying that he wants to further facilitate those conditions

Warning: the following images of fourplexes may frighten some politicians. They want to make sure these family homes remain illegal to build. Maybe my elder millennial is showing, but these homes in great locations look like good options to me!
Doug Ford’s Conservatives aren’t serious about building the housing Ontario needs. This is a NIMBY government that only cares about looking out for their rich friends & insiders. Ontario Liberals will allow fourplexes to be built as-of-right province-wide. #onpoli

Today, we're trying to pour 10 gallons of water into a 3-gallon bucket. And we've raised the bucket tax by 812%.
However, this needed to be offset by opening up more infill land for development. It needed to be offset by legalizing density. We didn't do that part of it. So instead of more people = more places to build, we did more people and fewer places to build.
Over $100 million for this project comes from development charges. These charges are a direct tax on housing construction, raising the price of both new and existing homes. Despite this, one city councillor claims that "the cost of this is nothing to the taxpayer to build."

MNTO is not just that group in their 20's that show up at council; a lot of us are 20s, 30s, and 40s+ who are afraid that people we care about won't have a place in our communities b/c gov't won't build the housing we need NOW. Holding leadership accountable is the first step.
The myth that greenspace is incompatible with high density is just that: a myth. In addition, building densely protects sensitive wetlands and agricultural land from sprawl. Building infill density is an environmental imperative.
“A lot of (Glenora) will be zoned for apartments, and with that, all of the trees will disappear because you can’t keep an apartment building going right to the sidewalk and have the trees survive on the boulevard,” she said. Garneau, Strathcona, and Wîhkwêntôwin beg to differ.

This is why it's so important to permit and build high density housing around our LRT stations. Allowing more people to live car-free or car-lite has a multitude of benefits.
And we have Calgary-specific data!
"The solution is clear: build more homes. Given Calgary’s legacy of urban sprawl, the solution is doubly clear: build more homes within our existing footprint." We don't need a plebiscite to figure this out. #yyccc calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…
This is the catch-22 of regulatory processes for housing delivery gone wild: Long municipal processes for getting housing built mean that by the time a home builder gets approval (often years), the market conditions have changed and the project is no longer economically viable.…
“Land needs to be rezoned in the SAME economic environment that the housing will be built in. The longer the approvals process, the less likely this will be so…” 📍Good explainer on why many “Approved” #AffordableHousing projects remain unbuilt — even on Government-owned lands.

Edmonton is being recognized as a leader in housing reform in North America. With unprecedented demand to live here, we can't stop at Zoning Bylaw Renewal. To make housing affordable and stop sprawl, we will need to legalize more apartments in more places.
