#Ottawa housing starts remain embarrassing through September.
75% of the year, 43.67% of our target.
Perhaps worse - of the 50 municipalities with #housing targets, Ottawa's bad numbers rank 29th.
This is what we get with a provincial gov't that sets targets for housing but takes no action.

It's not too late to make @ottawacity council change its mind about taxing housing during a housing crisis.
It's incredibly frustrating that we still aren't taking it seriously.

Planning Committee is reviewing a proposal this coming Wednesday to increase @ottawacity development charges by 15-53%.
This will add thousands to the cost of homes, during a housing crisis, as all living costs skyrocket.
Write your councillor and tell them you're opposed!

To use his own words from yesterday, Doug Ford is making a "massive mistake."
The province’s own Housing Affordability Task Force recommended fourplexes as the highest-impact policy above all else.
Formerly a housing champion, Ford is now turning his back on Ontario.
