Q: Is anyone here familiar with market-based mechanisms for growth planning? Like instead of having bureaucrats decide what land will be added to an urban growth boundary, have it done through an auction process?

Let us also remember that despite good information and evidence on cash transfers and who in the family should be the recipient, this government designated the person who files first as being the recipient. Because there can be no gendered aspects to that #amiright

Far to many in the environmental movement, such as they call themselves, are unserious about what it takes to build walkable communities close to jobs so people don't have to spend money and carbon get to and from work and other things. Easy to pretend that developers just pay…

We tax housing construction like we tax cigarettes, and we wonder why we’re getting less of it. Governments can fix this.

One thing lost in the whole interest rate discussion is how much lower Canadian rates are than our global Anglo counterparts. The rise in rates has been painful. It could have been so much worse.

Thread time. This is old data (2018), but if you want to know why housing is so expensive - a huge part of it is taxes. We tax housing construction like we tax cigarettes, and we wonder why we’re getting less of it.

Developers in Toronto pay $86 per square foot in government fees, compared to $70 in Vancouver and $24 in Montreal. Also look at how much more charges there are on condos yet they take up less land. 🤷🏻♀️
