“Toronto needs to treat housing as both an affordability issue and a supply issue. There are two groups under increasing pressure: people who have been priced out of home ownership or rental housing, and existing homeowners struggling with rising mortgage and household costs. I would create opportunities that help these two groups. The City can make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to create safe, legal rental units within their properties, helping them offset housing costs while adding more rental homes to Toronto lowering costs.”
