Luke Anderson of @stopgapramp knows what it’s like to navigate a city that’s not designed for all. “Our Plan Toronto needs to support universal accessibility throughout the city and in all aspects of life: housing, employment, transportation, recreation, and more.” #OurPlanTO

[Ontario Housing @housingON]

While our housing policies are helping to build more homes, we know there’s more to do to address #housing affordability.

We want to hear directly from Ontarians on how we can make it easier to find a home that meets their needs and budget.

@JamillaMohamud It's not all done by planners, need to work together w/ municipal finance & ec dev to name a few. Protecting rents, including commercial spaces, looking at freezing/limiting escalation of property taxes for lower income households/commercial properties, etc. Ask economists too

[Canadian Urban Institute @CANURB]

Creating an equitable & thriving housing landscape requires expansive housing options that transcend beyond the dominant forms we typically see in our cities.

Join us for a conversation on how we can support "missing middle" housing on Dec. 2 at noon.

We can do more so that our city is a place where our kids, our families, our friends, our coworkers & people we haven’t even met yet can all find a home - let’s talk about permitting multiplexes in our Neighbourhoods https://t.co/aYVJpfhZH7
