Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner has introduced the Homes You Can Afford in Communities You Love Act, aimed at amending the Planning Act to facilitate the construction of fourplexes and mid-rise apartments in existing residential areas and transit corridors. Schreiner criticized the Ford government’s inaction on the housing crisis, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to create more affordable housing. The proposed legislation seeks to eliminate barriers to development within urban boundaries, advocating for inclusive zoning practices to support sustainable and connected communities.
