My U Waterloo colleagues Michael Drescher and Luna Khirfan wrote a great article on #Ontario ‘s #Bill23. This bill - the More Homes Built Faster Act - is a real piece of Orwellian doublespeak. It will not help increase #affordablehousing and will lead to higher property taxes as it prevents municipalities from charging developers the fees that recoup costs of development! https://theconversation.com/ontarios-bill-23-proposes-more-homes-built-faster-but-this-comes-at-an-environmental-cost-194494
the Association of #municipalities of #ontario (AMO) bluntly noted, this one piece of legislation “will enhance the profitability of the development industry at the expense of #taxpayers and the natural #environment.” #bill23 #bill39 #housing #housingaffordability
@girls_can it's going to hurt cities so much 😟
