This is why virtually no housing is being built in #Ontario.

Rather than having a reliable, predictable process for obtaining permitting and planning approval, #DougFord has instead politicized the entire process, resulting in far, far FEWER homes being built as developers abandon the prescribed approvals process and instead seek political favour to build over the objections of even local residents who are supportive of moderate density increases.

Ford will trumpet that no administration in Ontario has issued more Ministerial Zoning Orders for the purposes of housing development, but is that a good thing?

He's turned a house building assembly line into a bespoke and craft process that is more profitable for developers but results in far fewer homes being built.
