Your City Hall always circles back to home, doesn't it?
Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.
This past week, the currents at City Hall have been moving in a pretty clear direction, and it’s a familiar one for us here in Peterborough: housing. It feels like every conversation, every report, every proposed motion eventually spills back into the big question of where we live and how we can all find a place to call home.
**The Constant Flow of Housing Talk**
It wasn't just *a* topic; it was *the* topic. From Monday right through Friday, the talk centered on:
* Affordability: How do we make sure people can actually afford to live here? * Availability: There's just not enough of it, plain and simple. * The River's Role: How our relationship with the Otonabee and the land influences development discussions.
Here's the thing about Peterborough: the need for good housing isn't just a policy debate, it's a fundamental part of our collective well-being, like the health of the river itself. It's the lifeblood of a community.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
