Chaos. To recap, if you made a $500,000 capital gain on the sale of a cottage you would pay $133,825 in taxes under the previous inclusion rate (50%) and $156,129 under the new rate (66%), a difference of $22,304 more. On a one-time transaction. theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…

Valuable and practical insight from @MikePMoffatt on what’s required to address Ottawa’s (and Ontario’s) generational crisis on the affordability of housing. I’ll write about this in my next newsletter. Some good changes happening, but much more needs to be done.
Larga Baffin, a medical boarding facility in Ottawa for Inuit people, has reduced its number of proposed units from 220 to 176 based on complaints Kind of concerning that the complaints of well-off residents are put ahead of healthcare Notes from @Jessica_Ottawa’s newsletter:
Reminder that Canada built 274k housing units in 1974 when the population was half the size and interest rates were 10%+. Provincial/municipal regulations impede economies of scale. Labour productivity in the construction industry could be a lot better off if provinces wanted.

Isn’t complaining about these particular strings telling on themselves? The strings are simply to allow more housing to be built and to stop increasing taxes on housing. Conservative premiers should be falling all over themselves to get paid for cutting red tape and taxes.

I just sent in my letter, and you should too. That a project like this cannot be built without a protected battle with the privileged NIMBY peanut gallery is everything that is wrong with housing in this city. Please send your support in to [email protected]

Thread time! Here's the TL;DR version. Even if we could build homes for next-to-nothing, we're not going to bring back affordability for middle-class Ontario families unless we tackle high development charges and land costs. Here's why.

I feel like this shouldn't have to be said, but: It is impossible to create attainable housing for middle-class families when per-home development charges are in the six figures. The math simply does not work.

NEW: The Association of Municipalities of Ontario says in letter to @SeanFraserMP it’s “deeply concerned” Ottawa might withhold $355M for affordable/supportive housing because Ontario isn’t meeting targets, saying province has some of the oldest housing stock & needs repairs.
Warning: the following images of fourplexes may frighten some politicians. They want to make sure these family homes remain illegal to build. Maybe my elder millennial is showing, but these homes in great locations look like good options to me!
In a letter to Ont Housing Minister @PaulCalandra, fed Housing Minister @SeanFraserMP says province has until end of day today to resubmit its action plan for meeting federal housing targets or risk losing $357M for affordable housing (first reported by @robertbenzie) #onpoli
To use his own words from yesterday, Doug Ford is making a "massive mistake." The province’s own Housing Affordability Task Force recommended fourplexes as the highest-impact policy above all else. Formerly a housing champion, Ford is now turning his back on Ontario.

One thing I’ve consistently underestimated is how core funding as signal is a part of founder culture. How much you’ve raised, from whom and across how many rounds is so mimetically engrained to the exclusion of nearly every other metric or narrative. Well played, VCs!
