Latest from MMI. We're told development charges and other municipal housing taxes have to be high because "growth should pay for growth."
Yet, so much of the money is spent on initiatives that have nothing to do with growth.

Affirmatively stating that you are a racist is no longer a fireable offense. But supporting workplace diversity is.

A first for the Missing Middle! We had a video banned on TikTok. Looks like somebody didn't like me talking about Trump Tariffs.
Sadly I expect we'll see more of this censorship going forward.

Daily reminder that high development taxes on housing are a policy choice made by provincial and municipal governments. Atlantic Canada, Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec all manage to fund infrastructure without sky-high development taxes.

A chart I produced a while back. Shows how much a 20% downpayment is, and how much 5-years worth of mortgage payments are, measured in average wages, for a home in the GTA, going back to the 1950s.
Will publish a larger piece on this in January.

Less traffic, but also very importantly *less stops*
What's annoying about Toronto's streetcars is that we know they can go fast. Try taking the 505 late at night when there's less car traffic - that thing f**king flies! That should be the norm though, not the exception!
To understand the streetcars in Toronto you must understand that they were kept for *conservative* (literally) reasons, and that the same attitude keeps the whole TTC operating like its 30 years in the past and absolutely unwilling to accept itnl. best practice in many areas.
