The @AM800CKLW Monday Roundtable discusses Windsor's Homelessness & Housing Hub permanent location being revealed & Ontario banning classroom cellphone use for students. jonliedtke.ca/2024/04/30/am8… @RickTonial @WindsorRino @AndrewDowieMPP
Great piece in the Globe about 'gentle density' & its importance in dealing with the housing crisis. Seems @alexbozikovic has come around on the idea that gentle density can actually put a dent in the demand for new homes. Now Canada has to as well. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
This is nuts. Ontario has already eroded municipal powers and made councilors insignificant, what is coming next?

“According to some employees, there are concerns with speaking up and expressing thoughts freely,” - clear as day. Do we still believe this isn't a problem & people's jobs aren't at risk? Its the residents that suffer the most in all of this. windsorstar.com/news/local-new…
More games from a council that ins't serious. Fill their time and their efforts focusing on playing games and getting media hits. $900k is only a lot when its in this context. When we turn down $30M+ and have cost overruns of millions for the trolley it doesn't matter.

Why have we had such a steep rise in visible homelessness? Perhaps part of it is because "Ontario has [been] lowering what it spends on community housing by 70 per cent" since 2018.

Love the strong language used by Coun. Gignac..."we need this money" - funny how she was one of the ppl who downplayed the $30M+ we turned down for housing and one of the supporters of many vanity projects like the trolley and its overrun of costs. So much double speak.

Oversized Danger: The Lethal Danger of Pickups and Large SUVs to Pedestrians and Cyclists The report is authored by an Ontario-wide coalition of 16 road safety & community groups (C.R.A.S.H.), supported by C4C (UWindsor) & the Mobility Network (U of T) windsorlawcities.ca/oversized-dang…
This is necessary conversation that nobody seems willing to have. Great work by the coalition of groups who worked on this report.

At what point do we start to see this as a major #failure of MPP Dowie's tenure? He has failed to show the Windsor site as the best standard in service and has not delivered on a funding promise for our local @TheWECHU to operate the CTS. windsorstar.com/news/local-new…. .

What Makes Housing So Expensive? A breakdown of costs for the average* US home. *This includes niche luxury builds and probably results in a 20-30% higher cost than typical builds. A worthwhile read. @MikePMoffatt Do you know of a Canadian version? construction-physics.com/p/what-makes-h…
I can’t confirm that this is the boldest housing plan in Canadian history, but this is easily the boldest in my lifetime, and I’m pretty old. More work to do, but this is absolutely transformative stuff.

Great piece by Dave Waddell in the Star. So many pieces need to work in unison for the market to reach its potential. We need to look at how local governments approve projects and rezone lands. We need a systemic shift that cuts time and red tape. windsorstar.com/news/local-new…
If there ever was a time to consider making the relationship between the Feds & Cities stronger by including Municipalities in the Constitution, this is it. What more proof do we need?

Not surprisingly, @jm_mcgrath nails it. Yesterday's housing bill from the province does almost nothing to address the housing crisis. tvo.org/article/the-fo…

In today's @globeandmail, I ask: how much can "gentle density" do to address the housing crisis? theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
It takes a lot of triplexes to build 5.8 million homes.
After 55 days, 440 hours & over 1000 KMs driven throughout the City, our temporary warming bus initiative ended last night. Staff from the Downtown Mission, @CityWindsorON & @Transit_Windsor engaged with & supported almost 1800 individuals since we launched on February 23. 1/3
@WindsorRino I'm profoundly alarmed by the trend we see of provincial governments using the housing crisis to impose more direct rule over municipalities. Maybe it's time we have a discussion of adding some form of core constitutional rights for local government.
@WindsorRino I thought of you today while breaking this story down for my updates. And what you would think of introducing parties at the municipal level. The bill is so incredibly… backwards
What kind of question is this @AM800CKLW. Focusing on someone's nationality rather than their qualifications is not just misguided but blatantly racist. Let's shift the conversation to inclusivity and equality in the workplace. Just BRUTAL.
Today's AM800 Newspoll question: Are you concerned that 72 specialty foreign workers are employed at the NextStar EV battery plant in Windsor? Vote here: am800cklw.com/features/am-80…
“Alberta bill gives cabinet power to remove municipal councillors, change or repeal bylaws.” Via @CBCEdmonton What could POSSIBLY go wrong? cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
God, I remember when it seemed like no one cared about making cars in 🇨🇦. What was that, 2016, 2017? Honestly, @JustinTrudeau & @fordnation working together, using new NAFTA rules (👏@cafreeland), hustling with @VictorFedeli & @FP_Champagne is No politics, No BS hard wins 👊🏻.
QUESTION: We often talk about cities doing great things that inspire us, and I usually don’t spend much time bashing other cities even when they deserve it. But there are special cities that just SHOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER than they are. Ottawa comes to mind for me. What yours?
This is wrong on so many levels. Disappointed in my friend and former colleague Ted Arnott for his ruling and surprised the Premier won’t use his majority to fix it.. As a former Government and Opposition House Leader the fix is pretty simple and straight forward.
Only in auto investments do we have this cheap & easy “cost per job” criticism from the commentary class. Auto plants generate $10B+ in activity a year & ~$2B in tax. There’s your denominator. BTW still waiting on “cost per job” analysis on last week’s $2.4B AI announcement.
About $5 million per job. Note: these are not jobs created, but jobs *transferred* from other firms and industries (see: opportunity costs). So we’re paying $5 million per just to shift jobs from one sector to another.
I say this as an academic: Academia played an outsized role in creating the housing crisis. We are a big part of the problem.

Why have we had such a steep rise in visible homelessness? Perhaps part of it is because "Ontario has [been] lowering what it spends on community housing by 70 per cent" since 2018.
NEW: Internal data suggests the Ford government is throwing hundreds of millions at homelessness programs while it cuts what it spends on community housing. globalnews.ca/news/10442251/… #onpoli
