I was on ODSP when I was in Ontario, and could not afford anything. This proposal may help, but it does not seem to address how unaffordable housing is on ODSP. A person on ODSP or Ontario Works would still not be able to afford these apartments. Removing development charges means reducing funds for parks, schools, transit, and other essentials. All removing development charges does is makes it easier to build on green space, which is not necessary. We all need green spaces, and there are plenty of built up areas close to transit to build on.
