This bill will not have any impact on the affordable housing crisis in Ontario. Simply building more suburbs on green land will have little if any impact on housing affordability.
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario did their own independent study, which concluded: “Preliminary analysis of the Bill indicates the transfer of up to $1 billion a year in costs from private sector developers to property taxpayers without any likelihood of improved housing affordability. Similarly, the bill’s provisions designed to reduce environment protection will benefit developers in the short term, with costs to the public and homeowners that cannot be calculated.”
