Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner criticized the Ford government’s failure to meet housing targets, as recent data revealed a mere 19,300 housing starts in Q2 2024. To achieve the goal of 1.5 million homes by 2031, the province needs to average 38,600 units per quarter, a target that remains unfulfilled. Schreiner advocates for legalizing gentle density, arguing that it is the most effective solution for increasing affordable housing in established neighborhoods. He calls for decisive government action to address the housing crisis and urges the Ford administration to step aside if they cannot facilitate progress.
