More Neighbours is excited to launch MNTO INITIATIVES! We will be standing up 4 recurring committees and 2 One-Time initiatives to help volunteers focus their efforts and boost impact! More on each below 👇 Sign Up: forms.gle/DyBUtnYoicBA65… Summary: drive.google.com/file/d/1eOh0rY…
The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.

The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.
@carastern Kinda seems like people being stuck with mom & dad until their 30s is a bigger drag on fertility than building small apartments. 🤷♂️
Modular building can deliver more homes, more quickly. Thrilled to show Natalie Johnson from @CTVToronto around @BECCModular today and talk about my motion that was passed at Council this week to increase the number of innovative companies who can help Toronto meet our housing…
Today Toronto City Council voted in favour of the PHC motion from @BradMBradford to create pathways for builders of modular and other construction technologies to have designs pre-approved. This is great news and comes at a time when innovation is desperately needed.
We're thrilled to welcome @LanrickBennett as a new SofC Urbanist-in-Residence. During his time with us, he will grow his work on sustainable urban #mobility, asking if cycling can contribute to TO's net-zero #GHG emission targets & using urban data to make policy recommendations.
At City Hall this morning, @LilyCheng is hosting a media availability in support of school aged Ukrainian refugees having access to more affordable tuition rates in Ontario.
Absolutely ridiculous. Reform to the CoA processes cannot happen fast enough. Not sure how Toronto gets to an end of the housing crisis when applications as moderate as this one are rejected. @oliviachow

🚨Existing residents are opposing CoA applications like this.🚨 It has *39 letters of opposition*. Do not let them win! E-mail a quick letter of support to the City ASAP: [email protected] before April 17. This is *exactly* the kind of density & change this City needs!
Horrifying. The absurd lack of accountability and basic responsibility in Canada will kill more people. It is moral bankruptcy that nobody in a position of seniority or authority will lose their jobs or publicly resign in solidarity with the victims.

Tenblock is proud to be an Avenue Road Safety Coalition member. The residents, employees, and visitors to our apartment buildings in the Avenue Road corridor deserve safe and sustainable transportation options, and a more generous and enjoyable public realm. 🌇🚲🌱✌️

I was impressed by the variety, and beauty, of multiplexes in Louisville, Kentucky on a recent visit. Streets are green & full of life. There really doesn’t need to be a choice between neighborhood “character” & more affordable housing options. We can have it all if we choose to.

2K Followers 1K Following Official account of the Bicycle Mayor of Toronto Part via @BYCS_org Email at [email protected] 🚲 Part of the newly minted “cycling enthusiasts”I would love to see governments and not for profits deliver 20% of our housing supply in non-market forms. This would be a huge accomplishment. Get out of the way and start building.
Let the private sector and individuals/small businesses be far more free to build housing for the middle class. Fewer rules, faster processes, low taxes on new housing. And get government back into building housing to support those private markets can’t serve well.
People often accuse me of being a libertarian because I point out the very clear challenges of broken planning and high taxes on housing. But I also think government should get more involved as a builder. It’s not about the size of government but its role and activity.

It’s a beautiful day to walk your dog
Misjudged how rainy it is and how far our destination is
The people saying a few days ago that condos cause fewer children will now immediately change their minds and start arguing that the single family homes of Etobicoke north cause fewer children right?
And without further comment, change in children aged 0-14.
The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.
You know those condo towers where people say you can't raise a family? In Toronto, Spadina-Fort York's population rose much more than in any other ward from 2016 through 2021, and nearly 10pc of the increase was kids under 15
Pull up this map whenever a NIMBY in a red neighbourhood says their community can't handle more density.
The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.
Six years to the day after those fugly jersey barriers went up outside Union Stn, city hall opts to install a more attractive way to stop vehicle incursion at NPS
@AMAprmaven Sorry, they have achieved Heritage status.
Perfect Toronto emblem: beloved urban tree getting its roots crushed by careless utility contractors (who of course can’t block off any of the car space)

Toronto's policies say growth should happen in Downtown. But we carved off half of it as Heritage Conservation Districts. And now we're having debates about the size of what's proposed in the postage stamp sized area where you're encouraged to build. thestar.com/real-estate/se…
