Hoping the province will consider/ find a way to eliminate single family only zones in the province of Ontario.
It would be helpful if the province considered having a member on municipal planning committees to provide some type of oversight or give the province a better understanding of why housing is not getting approved within reasonable timeframes.

to help counter municipalities providing refunds, many cities, for example Kingston Ontario, is making the pre application process even longer and trying to incorporate public feedback at this stage
I think the province needs to regulate how many public meetings a municipality can have, remove neighbourhood character from official plans, as you know this is a term that many existing residents will use to delay housing projects.

Ontario lacks empathy, Ontarions lack empathy when it comes to the housing shortage, people who have security in housing lack empathy and it is unfortunate, there are even councilors who lack empathy for the shortage.
Is there a way the province can mandate municipalities to better educate councilors and members of the public ?
