Ontario Sucks at Building Homes
Manage episode 452207368 series 3512504
Ontario is by far the province with the biggest population, and is growing fast, but it’s the second worst when it comes to building homes.
In this conversation, journalist Cara Stern and economist Mike Moffatt discuss the severe housing crisis in Ontario, highlighting the province's poor performance in building new homes relative to its population growth. They analyze the types of homes being constructed, the impact of homelessness, and the responses from municipal leaders. The discussion also compares Ontario's housing policies with those of British Columbia and Quebec, emphasizing the wild increase of development charges and zoning regulations. Cara and Mike think a provincial election is imminent and that political accountability is needed. Ontario’s home building record is dismal and the Ford government is ignoring its own housing promises.
