Your commute is about to get a whole lot worse
Okay but real talk—the housing crisis, fam? It’s not just about what you see on the streets. Our city council is making moves that could change how we even talk about housing accessibility. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) just dropped a new podcast episode, "Making the Real Estate Journey More Accessible with Jeffrey Kerr," highlighting how many people face mobility, visual, or auditory barriers when trying to find a home.
This isn't some abstract concept, dude. This is real life for people trying to navigate a market that's already wild. City Hall *should* be looking at how to make sure *everyone* can find a place. What are they actually doing?
* On June 10, 2026, the Infrastructure and Environment Committee voted 5-0 to approve the Queen's Park North Donation - Concept Plan Update Report. Councillors Dianne Saxe, James Pasternak, Amber Morley, and Paula Fletcher all voted Yes, with Anthony Perruzza absent. * This specific vote might seem small, but it's about public space and how we design our city. Are we building spaces that are truly for everyone? * Meanwhile, building permits like the one issued on May 5, 2025, for a detached home at 15 Laws (Permit #25 144068 BLD), show new construction is happening. But are these new builds designed with accessibility in mind, or just fitting into the usual mold?
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
