Family-sized apartments work nicely elsewhere. If the government would get out of the way, we could have them here too.

@carastern Kinda seems like people being stuck with mom & dad until their 30s is a bigger drag on fertility than building small apartments. 🤷♂️
Does John Ibbitson think legalizing density means forcing people to live in tiny apartments? What's his problem with people having more options of where to live instead of fewer? How's only allowing tall & sprawl doing for fertility rates right now? theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…
Today’s episode of Missing Middle with @carastern & @MikePMoffatt is out and it’s a fast informative 16 minutes. Grading the Federal Budget: Housing Policy and Capital Gains Tax youtu.be/eWYXgV-nUY0?si… via @YouTube
.@MikePMoffatt truly is the best. The more governments listen to his advice, the more hope I have for the housing crisis being solved.

Here's one possible solution from me and @carastern- the federal government give cities $10,000 in infrastructure money for every housing start. thehub.ca/2024-03-28/mik…
This is an example of why federal and provincial governments need to institute outcome-based incentives for municipalities. Because cities can always find new and creative ways to block housing.

Just found out a friend is selling off an investment property because of the 🇨🇦 government raising the captial gains tax. How many more will rush to sell before the June 25th deadline?
When a new housing bill comes out, @beheshtialex is ready with thoughtful, brilliant takes on its impact. He joined us on the Missing Middle podcast to talk about Ontario's new housing bill, and how the premier's supply ambitions seem to be changing. youtube.com/watch?v=8N92km…
I couldn't have imagined a budget saying something like this even a year ago. (And, note, this is in the housing section!)
Thread time! Budget 2024 is out. The biggest announcement is an increase to the inclusion rate on capital gains realized annually above $250,000 by individuals and on all capital gains realized by corporations and trusts from one-half to two-thirds.
Love a good @EricDLombardi housing/generation take! "Boomers have set policy traps that have systematically kneecapped future generations’ prospects. In their wake, boomers have now left behind a country of systems littered with economic landmines and lower living standards."

The HATF recommendation was to allow all of the following in relation to 4 plex as of right: - 4 storeys - no parking minimums - over ride minimum lot size - override floor area ratio limits - over ride set backs The province didn’t do any of this, is why the uptake is limited

If the reason to keep these homes illegal is because Ford thinks no one would want them anyway, why not legalize them and let people decide? Why gatekeep it? And why not go bigger and bolder, if fourplexes aren't dense enough to solve it?

When NIMBYs quack about the ‘dangers’ of increasing density, point them to census data & @Hulchanski Nieghbourhood Project. Population down in almost all well-located neighbourhoods, while poor people have been moved out by zoning & housing policy since the 1970s.

Looks like one of the most controversial housing announcements is introducing 30 year amortizations for first time buyers on new builds. It doesn’t go nearly as far as I’d like, but I like the direction. Here’s why: youtu.be/Qa7yUw3WOSQ?si…
So much housing news, we needed an extra episode of the Missing Middle podcast! There's been a lot of criticism of the announcement to extend amortization periods for FTHBs, so @MikePMoffatt and I wanted to talk about what we like and don't like about it youtube.com/watch?v=Qa7yUw…

Since the Oct. 7 attack, we have seen a deeply troubling rise in antisemitism here in B.C. Our government condemns all forms of hate and is taking action to make sure our province is safe and welcoming for people of all faiths and backgrounds. (4/7)
This year, Passover comes at a painful time for many Jewish people. Just over six months ago, Hamas terrorists invaded Israeli communities and attacked innocent civilians in what was the deadliest act of violence against Jewish people since the Holocaust. (3/7)
Jewish people will mark the occasion by lighting candles, taking time off work and forgoing leavened grain products. For many, the highlight of Passover is the Seder, a ritual feast that includes drinking symbolic wine, eating special foods and reciting the Exodus story. (2/7)
At sundown tonight, the Jewish community in BC will join those around the world in marking the start of #Passover. This eight-day festival commemorates the Exodus – when the Israelites escaped slavery in ancient Egypt. (1/7)
It's BS because just because you can find *some* Jews whose feelings aren't hurt by "go back to Poland" doesn't change what this... is. I mean.

It's not the kids getting big inheritances that are in need of help
They tried to sugarcoat it by pretending it is %0.13, but it will actually affect the young kids they are claiming to help byvtqxing their inheritance.
I think Luisa is right here, in so far as affordability is a bit of a red herring on this project. My issue is these rules allow certain communities to live suburban lifestyles in a major city while less privileged communities take on the brunt of change and development.
Housing justice is not about circumventing 22 rules and trumping communities to make space for 10 investor luxury/short-term rentals. If you want to support development for the sake of it-YIMBY style-that’s cool. Just be real about who is to gain from it; it’s not the unhoused.
There remains a toxic attitude in much of housing and planning academia that the only justifiable political action on housing is directly supporting the homeless. In the real world, it remains perfectly valid to advocate solutions to the housing crisis across the spectrum.

@LuisaSotomayorA I agree that this development probably has the resources needed to undergo a TLAB appeal or absent that a full rezoning, something a lot of non-profit or affordable developments don't have as an option because of the limited resources they have at hand. However, I think we…

@meredithmartin @globeandmail Holy shit I’m not offended and frankly, think it’s great the globe is talking about things that matter. That said, “hard disagree” on the argument omg. 😂Maybe we should learn from Somalia because I just checked- and every woman there makes 6 babies. What the architecture like?
There are so many reasons this column sucks but I think it’s the absolute laziness of this argument that I find most offensive. Man the @globeandmail has lost the plot this week. Paper of record lolz theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…
@ineastyork Okay, as they should if that is their preference! Some may prefer the urban options. And government policy should not be attempting to decide that for them, as it is now.
The main problem with new housing for families is that it’s too small, not that it’s single detached. If you could buy a 2,500 Sqft flat in a multiplex with a shared backyard in a low rise neighbourhood for like $1M, a lot of families would see it as a great option.
What @JohnIbbitson gets wrong is the following. The parts of the city with the greatest growth in the number of kids are also the places building the most housing. Building space for families is good for families. Throttling supply is bad for families.
