“Women and children have been staying longer and longer in emergency housing” says @kyla_tann. @cmhc says funding programs to build new transitional shelters are overwhelmed. https://t.co/sz8yVaj1Vc

@ericpost_mpl @DonaldShoup If AMR is higher and median market rent (MMR), then other units at “affordable rates” could raise their rent levels. Also luxury units could contribute to gentrification of areas that were historically affordable. Those are my quick thoughts!

[Kyla Tanner @kyla_tann]

@ericpost_mpl @DonaldShoup @ericpost_mpl interesting read!! I definitely understand the filtering - a big problem right now is real estate investment trusts (REITs) buying them up and selling at higher rents. And luxury apartments would raise the average market rent from CMHC

Slanted benches don’t reduce homelessness.

Bolts on steps don’t reduce homelessness.

Raised grate covers don’t reduce homelessness.

Spiked windowsills don’t reduce homelessness.

There’s only one thing that *does* reduce homelessness — and that is housing.

The words we use help shape other people’s experiences. Let’s create the world we want by choosing words related to substance use and homelessness that are compassionate and respect a person’s dignity.

#NationalHousingDay this year has special significance as COVID-19 further exposes the gaps in Canada’s housing system & threatens our homeless neighbours.

I've joined the #RecoveryForAll campaign to end homelessness in Canada. Will you join me?

This is exciting news for #ottwalk #ottroll #ottbike !

Starting this weekend, Bank from Queen to Flora streets will close to motor vehicles from 9 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. every Saturday through Aug. 8, and possibly beyond if businesses deem it a success.

They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You respond “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either,” showing before & after transformations illustrating that cities we admire made CHOICES. They make more tired excuses. Don’t accept them. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)
