We are still waiting on all Major Mayoral candidates to articulate their vision for the future of housing and affordability in Toronto. Our goal: paint this map green to end the geographic inequality and affordability crisis created by a 50 years of bad planning.

2022 is THE YEAR pro-housing politics ascends in Toronto and Ontario. Politicians will LOSE votes for plans that aren’t bold enough. It’s time to build a inclusive city and province, begin the end of a generational housing crisis, and build the future we all aspire to!

The Federal Government to Ontario: STOP DRAGGING YOUR FEET It’s about time the federal government put real carrots on the table to motivate the province into real action. These demands in exchange for $ are totally reasonable. No more free money.

NEW: Weeks after Premier Doug Ford ruled out 4 units as-of-right across the province, the federal government is launching a $5B housing fund for provinces if they adopt the fourplex policy. Ford now has until Jan 1, 2025 to change tracks to get the funds. #onpoli

The housing crisis happened so fast that many underestimate just how bad it’s become. In 10 years, the expectations of an entire generation have been shattered. Yet our leaders are trapped in 2012 thinking about growth. Time to build more homes.

Here’s what we’re trying to get everyone to understand. The rules in Toronto create a ridiculous unnatural urban fabric. Towers and single family homes only. We need to legalize gentle density everywhere and allow more organic growth.

It doesn’t matter what the consultation process is for in Toronto. Whether it’s for new buildings, or pedestrianizing public space, city staff and councillors always conclude with less change - even if Torontonians want more!

PSA: the true high-end luxury homes in the Annex are not high-rise condos, they're the single and semi-detached homes located steps away from multiple subway stations.

Next week, the Planning and Housing Committee will vote on legalizing multiplexes city-wide. If there was ever a time to make your voice heard, it's now. Don't let council defer or water down this proposal. Use our tool to send an email in support now.

Tell Toronto City Council to legalize multiplexes across the city -

Toronto is about to legalize multiplexes. More than half of Toronto's residential land is currently reserved for detached homes - and detached homes only. But City Council is about to change this -

Incredibly upset by the negative reaction to our ‘big-tent’ tweet about different ideological perspectives working together to end the housing crisis. Many of you don’t realize that you’re a part of the problem.

Tell them to: - End the apartment ban and permit at least four units in four storeys in every existing neighbourhood. - Legalize midrise apartments as-of-right along transit, including bus routes. - Say YES to high density apartments as-of-right near rapid transit.

Just one week ago, @fordnation was blaming municipalities for low housing starts, saying they "don't want to build." Today, he's saying municipalities know best. Which one is it?

Premier Doug Ford, whose government has set a goal to build 1.5 million homes by 2031, says he “doesn’t want to dictate” to municipalities where they should build. The government shelved a plan that would have intensified land around transit stations in the GTA. #onpoli

The real cause of the housing crisis are politicians unwilling to act on policies that will benefit young, new, and left out Canadians even when they know it’s they right thing. Our leaders are captured by do nothing, study-to-delay attitudes that block progress.

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!

Today, Council passed a plan to allow much needed new homes on major streets throughout the city. It will allow more folks to call Toronto home and create vibrant, livable neighbourhoods. When we say yes to having more neighbours, we create a more caring and welcoming city.
