Housing that fits

Gentle density, not chaos

Parkdale—High Park needs gentle density and smart growth — not a wall of condos. Our city is losing its beauty as high-rises go up almost everywhere, repeating the high-rise mistakes other cities have made. We have to stop before it's too late. What the neighbourhood needs is low-rise and mid-rise buildings — no more high-rises. We've intensively built condos across Toronto and now face a glut, with empty units and a freezing market while people still can't find a home. Planning has to match what the neighbourhood actually needs.

Back the small landlords

Small landlords provide more than half of all rentals. Reward the ones who keep rent low with tax breaks, and make it easier for renters to save and buy. Tenants aren't just renters — they're neighbours, friends, and family who deserve good services and safe, comfortable homes.

Mental-health housing, done right

I support supportive housing — but it must come with adequate outdoor space and real provincial mental-health support. Developments like the PARC project on Queen West raise genuine concerns for families and schoolchildren nearby. We can be compassionate and practical at the same time.

Enforce the standards we already have

Toronto's Municipal Licensing and Standards division has more than 670 employees. That's a real workforce that can step up — inspecting buildings, holding negligent landlords to account, and improving day-to-day living standards for tenants. We don't always need new rules; we need the ones on the books to actually be enforced.

Raise the bar at Toronto Community Housing

Toronto Community Housing is home to thousands of our neighbours, and too many of those homes are in poor repair and badly in need of basic upkeep and cleanliness. The city must improve the quality of the housing it already owns — fixing maintenance backlogs, mould, and broken elevators — so public housing is a place people are proud to live, not just a place to wait.

Make the waiting list shorter

Thirty thousand people are waiting for subsidized housing in Toronto. The real fix isn't only building more subsidized units — it's bringing the overall cost of living down so fewer families need a subsidy in the first place. When rent, taxes, and everyday costs ease, the list gets shorter because people can afford to stay on their own.
