Kate makes an important point with a wonderful example. City and Councillor offer knee jerk negative responses to a reasonable rezoning request from property owner. No one assesses validity of neighbour comments. Stop demonizing the disadvantaged!

Ford’s PCs issued as many Minister’s Zoning Orders to benefit just the guests at a single Ford family wedding reception as the previous government issued during its entire 15 years in power. More evidence of sketchy land deals shows just how deep the corruption goes. #onpoli

‘We can’t duplex and triplex our way out of our housing shortage - though it’s a good step since we do need more diverse types of housing, and rapidly.’ Incremental change is something, but what we really need is new housing at scale. Good take: theurbanist.org/2020/01/29/h…

New podcast! First, @marcusplow and I discuss the Fund for Change and battling homelessness in the city. Then, I play you some clips from a meeting at #ldnont city hall where several people outed themselves as pro-homelessness. Quite a juxtaposition! blackburnnews.com/uncategori…
