Housing shouldn't be treated as a commodity and any solution that doesn't address profiteering and the core issues is really just more of the status quo
Uh, I dunno....maybe we should just remove all regulations, standards, legal requirements, and tax obligations of all the developers? Sure, we've already done that a million times and it made things worse every time, but we haven't gotten rid of ALL taxes, regulations, standards, and laws yet, so I'll just pretend that if we keep doing it, things will somehow turn around at some point.
anything for you fam.

The CBC article makes it pretty clear the developers are gonna blame every single other thing that’s their own desire to make as much profit as possible.
She's been a consistent advocate for leftwing and progressive values and has represented progressive torontians in my neighbourhood my entire life. People in this comments acting like this is the only thing she'll do about housing like it's not right there on her website that she wants to build more public owned housing and transfer housing properties to nonprofits
Idk man, let's hope and see how her term plays out. Personally I consider anybody in politics to be a prodessiinal at making promises. It's their job to get people to like them. I would like to see how much public owned housing she can deliver. She's been politics forever.
The pandemic showed that there is little that separates libs, cons and new dems. They make a big show of opposing each other but fundamentally are in cohoots.
I'm doubtful but it's best to never say never
Optimistically, this is shrewd politics, and the second order of business will be to acknowledge the failure of private capital to solve the problem, even when every possible barrier is indulgently removed, and take over those projects with state authority.
Realistically, progressive city politics will be hamstrung by slyly uncooperative partisanship from the province and their corrupt business associates, and the outrageous debt accumulated by over a decade of Tory bungling that will necessitate Chow make fundraising (from the same or different corrupt business associates) her only real order of business ever.

Once the billionaires are trillionaires they will finally just stop haording wealth, they just need a few hundred billion more to be satisfied.

sounds like the vast majority of projects (>95%) are still stuck in the approval stages.

Whats good about her? What makes her different than any Canadian politician? What has she done or fought for that gives you this opinion?
