But we're willing to spend millions on millions to fight housing applications at the land Tribunal instead of working toward collaborative solutions for housing. Taxpayer money going toward political fights. Unnecessary spending.

[John-Paul Danko @JohnPaulDanko]

“...do whatever you want on your own time with your own money."

But when you're using #HamOnt taxpayer's money:

“...you work co-operatively with the city toward a common interest … That’s just some basic accountability when public funding is involved.”

@frankgreco1 @City_of_Vaughan @StevenDelDuca @marilyniafrate @mgracco1 @VoteVolpentesta Not something they can do at the local level. Provincial government would need to implement it through amendments to the Act. They can advocate for it though....

I am very happy to see #HamOnt @vicparkch get the last piece of the financing puzzle in place to begin construction of 261 new affordable housing units at 60 Caledon in #Ward8Hamilton!

The @cityofhamilton is a key financial partner in this project.

@JohnPaulDanko All the while, making the cost of homeownership and home purchases in Hamilton that much more expensive. #notaffordable

@oldTOseries Sittler, Lanny....

@jen_keesmaat People drive because transit schedules, availability and routes can't fulfill their needs. Fix the problem.....transit.

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@jen_keesmaat Too little too late. They're still opposing Development and still contradicting themselves continuously on the record. I.e. how can you want housing, density, supply, Affordability, but oppose heights, smaller units, densities, parking reductions, etc.?

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@perez_avry @jen_keesmaat There's more money being made by those contractors than owners of land in the greenbelt. Billions on billions of dollars for their companies. And guess what, no houses built, business shut down, etc. What looked great on paper still hasn't amounted to anything

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@jen_keesmaat The same twenty somethings likely don't own https://t.co/LHvOwXPZxj, condo or freehold, and will likely complain about affordability for the next 10 years with little ability to enter the market. Drive till you can afford is often a harsh reality but a necessity.

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@tommyhump 9B spent, and we can't build "affordable housing" at home...

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@danielfoch Think there's a long way to go in this story....he kept mentioning "process". I think you're going to see a "process" for evaluation, and potentially even more lands taken out. Not immediately, but 24 months from now, maybe....

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@danielfoch Scary stuff. 😨

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@VinceGaetano Grocers are going to need to invest in those robots that stock shelves soon....self checkout, self stocking, self cleaning....AI run stores by 2040?....

[Vince Gaetano @VinceGaetano]

Time to reconsider supply management???

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@LeafsWave 100%....when he's 37 and hasn't won a cup yet. They'll bring him here for one last swan song at $10M/year. He'll get us to the conference final and we'll lose in 7. I said it here first.

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@birgitomo Completely out of context. Mispronouncing a last name vs using a word in hate or derogatory manner are two very different things. Let's not forget that the current leader of the country dressed up as "black face" on several occasions....and he was re-elected.

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@VinceGaetano Buckle up!! How many hikes between now and end of Q1?

[Marcus Gagliardi @marcusg788]

@danielfoch If it's a brand new house the builder would have already paid the CA fee for their permit. If there's no extension of the structure and the permit is only for works inside, seems like a double dip in my opinion. Push back.
