We have a crisis of housing affordability in this city. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know: we’re obsessed with it, items at city council this month (on declaring homelessness an emergency, and permitting new housing types to be built more easily) are trying to tackle parts of it, multiple mayoral candidates (Mark Saunders, Ana Bailão, Anthony Perruzza, Mitzie Hunter) either released housing plans this week or are planning to do so next, and others (Olivia Chow, Josh Matlow, Brad Bradford) already have at least parts of theirs out.
Everyone knows we have a problem.
It’s a Star piece. That’s the only way someone could write about the housing crisis without mentioning Trudeau’s city destroying mass immigration policy. Ideological blindness is mandatory.
His lament that the “creative class” (people like himself) are leaving TO is sheer vainity.
They were going to leave due to crime sooner or later, it’s what Liberals do after they fuck a city over.
