This Transit-Oriented…

This Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) fails to comply with Premier Ford’s Build Homes Faster agenda and will not deliver a single home before 2031, the Province’s own housing deadline, and will take 25 years to complete. OPA70 is a better alternative and is ready to go. Oakville already meets and exceeds all provincial housing requirements through OPA 70. And Oakville has a proven track record for building houses. Who knows what type of housing we will need by 2031?
I believe that the only people that would benefit from the TOC are the developers. Oakville is a suburb, people that live here still need cars everyday, to get groceries, drive kids to activities, etc. and living by a Go train is not going to change that. Typically suburbs attract families, so why would it have density that is way higher than any city? The studios and one bedrooms are designed for singles or couples, not families. OPA 70 is the only option that makes sense for Oakville. There is no necessity or urgency for imposing these MZOs now. In fact, imposing these MZO‘s will eliminate the superior alternative, for the financial benefits of the developer. I vote NO for these MZOs.
