Abby Hughes - July 8, 2022
Housing bubble! Sold-over-asking! High borrowing rates! If those words make you cringe, you’re probably one of the many Torontonians feeling squeezed by the housing market. And according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, if we want affordable housing, Canada will need to build an extra 3.5 million homes on top of what we’re on track to build by 2030.
A housing advocate and a senior research fellow at Toronto Met’s Centre for Urban Research and Land Development weigh in on the CMHC’s target, and how to meet the housing demand.
Plus, Abhay tells us about Lavender Literature - a sapphic youth group in the city that started as a book club.
