The federal government recently announced a Renter's Bill of Rights. Will it actually make a difference for renters? @MikePMoffatt and I discussed that for today's episode of the Missing Middle Podcast. youtu.be/_P8lGTvNvYE
A good video to watch if you're a mopey, disappointed Leafs fan today. It's not entirely their fault! (I mean, it partly is, but not entirely.) youtu.be/QuPuRvLyyxw
I found this podcast with @alexbozikovic and hosted by @carastern and @MikePMoffatt about heritage and housing, really interesting. It asks questions like: what is heritage? what is old? what is important? youtube.com/watch?v=-yU4VB…
The government already knows how much you owe in taxes so why do we have to fill out all the stupid forms? There is a better way! @MikePMoffatt, @carastern & @FairTaxCanada discuss How Automatic Tax Filing Could Make Your Life Easier youtu.be/MlKPgA7LoUk?si… via @YouTube
Tel Aviv: 2.6 kids per couple.
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.

Or what I call, a budget with "glimmers of housing hope"

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."

@Ottapuss @carastern @n0rthleft You are aware it was predominantly a student neighbourhood before people started buying the rooming houses and converting them into detached homes correct? It wasn’t “nurtured” but quite literally gentrified. The population peaked in the 70s and has been in decline since

An interesting response we've been getting: “This video is cruel. I can’t leave the city. My job, friends, and family are here!” Yes. That's why we shouldn't block housing in cities and price people out.

@ChrisSpoke The basic social contract of the Greenbelt was ‘don’t build sprawl, build a city’. The idea that the shortest of infill rental homes would be blocked by Greenbelt advocates for the sake of their own backyard, is maddening. The Greenbelt is good. This is so toxic to social trust.
Fun fact: one of the nimby neighbours who spoke at the Committee of Adjustments in opposition to this infill development proposal at 91 Barton St. is Burkhard Mausberg, the former CEO of the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and Greenbelt Fund. Think about that.

Bloor St IS one of Canada’s largest urban thoroughfares. We just choose to count everyone @anthonyfurey Image each pedestrian and person on a bike hoping into a single occupancy car? LOL Be thankful anthony that we infrastructure that gives people options. #BikeTO #WalkTO
Bloor Street is supposedly one of Canada’s biggest urban thoroughfares — yet it’s become a one lane, one direction street that comes to a halt when a single vehicle waits to turn right. All thanks to poor planning, little coordination and excessive bike lanes.
