Not to take away from celebrating a small step forward, but reminder, to hit London’s housing target we need 107 of these projects or equivalent housing units elsewhere to open per year for 10 years straight.

To be clear, giving Ontario mayors strong mayor power isn’t likely to speed up housing starts. It’s could actually make it easier for NIMBY’s to get their way. Going forward they only need to convince one person of their concerns to stop a project dead in its tracks.

Great to see the plaza in the middle connecting Ridout to the river, also that it’s not another standard concrete block.
The feds aren’t without fault, but the housing crisis spreading out from Toronto is much more a creature of failed municipal and provincial housing projections and policy. This has way more to do with Doug Ford, Rob Ford and John Tory than Trudeau.

In case anyone was wondering why the province is taking away municipalities say during a housing crisis, here’s an example why. Our city leaders are making to hard not to.

We shouldn’t celebrate the province overriding local planning, but all it takes is 2 seconds to look at migration patterns through Mississauga, house and rental prices to know this type of overreach had to eventually happen to rebalance the market

For as long as I can remember NIMBY's have been calling Victoria Park the crown jewel in London's park system, it is not. But it could be. What improvements would you like to see at victoria park?

@YIMBY_LdnOnt @JamiesonRoberts @MunicipalMillie @RT_OHagan91 All of these are part of the Bill 23 (the good) but council needs to get approvals through, planning need to process rezoning applications faster, and developers need to stop sitting on developable land because cost of borrowing is too high. Everyone in the system is to blame.
@YIMBY_LdnOnt Haha this is actually good

Good morning Toronto! ICYMI - yesterday, City Council voted 18-7 to legalize multiplexes in all residential areas of Toronto. 👇 (1/3)
Join the conversation and add your perspective Follow these groups: @ABetterOttawa @MoreHamOnt @WRYIMBY @MoreNeighbours @YIMBY_LdnOnt #onpoli
@YIMBY_LdnOnt Yep. The city needs a business case for transit. Please tell me the business case behind spending millions of dollars to widen a road that makes it easier for people to move into the sprawling rural suburbs and commute to the city for everything 🤷♂️
@YIMBY_LdnOnt When you understand how municipal taxes work, the taxes make sense - you expect to get more house in Hamilton than in Toronto - hence more taxes. Not new information - just presenting numbers without actually explaining what it means.

@planning416 @Stopsprawlhalt1 Yes this is just advocating for sprawl in London and KWC.
“We have met the enemy, and he is us. Whether in the name of open space, neighborhood aesthetics, or avoiding overcrowding, we as voters have driven up the cost to develop housing to the detriment of workers who need economical housing.” shelterforce.org/2017/02/22/hou…
"Because of restrictive zoning laws, large swathes of Ontario’s municipalities cannot absorb new population growth. This means that all new growth is crammed into a few small pockets of land, leading to market distortions that undermine new housing supply" nationalpost.com/opinion/adam-z…
"I want to build more housing, I just don't want any developers to get any money doing it." Who the hell do you think builds housing? And do you think they get paid in cupcakes?
An introspective on NIMBYism well worth a quick read. People inherently don’t like the disruption that comes with change and growth. That’s why we need clear rules and oversight - but cannot continue to prioritize “local” voices over all others. torontosun.com/opinion/column…
NIMBY mayors are celebrating today. Just look how happy the Mayor of Aurora is that task force recommendations are being, in his words, abandoned by @SteveClarkPC.
STATEMENT - On the provincial housing plan announcement.
If you are an anti-sprawl advocate but not a full throated pro-density advocate, you want the housing crisis. We need anti-sprawl orgs to make clear that they want to end exclusionary zoning, vocally. Dense greenfield and high density growth centers will not be enough.
Density means people should take up less land, not that people should have less space.
As we work to protect our water and our countryside, it's helpful to know we're all part of a big and growing community 👇👇
