Isn't a major complaint of the Canadian economy the fact that too much capital goes to real estate already, causing difficulty for small businesses to grow? Seems like this would just be even more of the same, with the same complaints.

That's not my point It's another conversation. To building a building is a huge upfront cost and you can't walk into a bank for it. It's not on a municipality if a developer can only afford 1 project every 5 years or 5 projects every year. There's always room to further streaming the planning process for new development. However, every city has approved development. Calgary has tens of thousands of units approved. Toronto has hundreds of thousands approved.
 
That's the first I've seen that report. I didn't say over a million. I said hundreds of thousands. Development Ready, MZO and, as of right is 545,000 in the pic you posted!
 
Attaintable Homes is owned by the City.
It's not on a municipality if a developer can only afford 1 project every 5 years or 5 projects every year. It doesn't matter if the developer is municipally owned. They can only build what they can afford and most municipalities do not have the budget to build a lot of housing.

They can choose to do a lot more. Turns out what we've been doing is mostly wrong, and we let the problem build up to the point where now we are close to an all of the above situation and Toronto and Vancouver are far past it.

One of the first choices municipalities can make is to raise taxes to reduce development fees and capitalize housing supply growth.
 
I'm not using that data either. 545,000 acrss Ontario means hundreds of thousands in Toronto.

Fair points on housing strategies. Of course raising property taxes to subside new market housing development ( one bedrooms renting from $2000 to $4000l is not one I would support. Record number of people moving and studying in Canada with national housing supply shortages is not sensible planning either. The reliance on housing for economic growth is not a stable course by any means

A good quarter, with 9 new projects added. I haven't added 1901 College, or AHC 6th Ave yet as there aren't drillers on site yet, but I am expecting them both to show up next quarter. If there are any projects that should be on the list...or projects that can be removed, let me know.
