I agree with the proposal to provide more affordable housing options and infilling cities by adding second units to homes, etc. however, "housing options" is such a vague and useless concept, that it makes me doubt the objectives of the plan.

I dont agree with the deferral of development charges for commercial developments. Deferrals should only be used for developments that help those in need such as rentals or low income properties.
How does the government plan or propose to ensure developers actually pass on the savings onto the end customer when buying a home. The proposal appears to benefit the developer who will benefit from capped development charges and sell or rent at market rates, thereby pocketing increased profit.

It is unclear to me how you can calculate a cap on the proposed community benefits charge based on land values at the time of building permit issuance. Who determines the land value at that time?

Oakville does not need further development. Any additional housing will compromise the local environment and contribute to road congestion. High density housing is not the right solution for this town. Having green space and drivable roads is important to our communities.
We do NOT need more development. We NEED more climate action! More environmental protections! The last thing we need is more development! Even considering this is a horrible idea. Please, think of the legacy you want to leave for your children
This bill is a total waste of time and money. Both Liberals and Conservatives voted to reform the OMB giving more say to the municipalities. The LPAT hasn't even had a chance but the rich developers have lobbied the PCs to go back to the OMB set up.
This bill is totally unnecessary!!!
Please be advised that Town Council passed a motion concerning proposed Bill 108 - More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019, to send correspondence to the Province requesting an extension of the June 1st timeline on the Environmental Registry for comments on proposed Bill 108 - More Homes, More Choice Act,

I would also give consideration to creating a new rate class for purpose built rental housing that can be set at a lower rate than "for-sale" housing. As well, I would also look at the policies of municipalities that increasingly set the benchmark for "small" units smaller and smaller.

Dear Mr. Ballantine,

Bill 180 is putting developers before people. Why is the provincial government changing its motto to "For the Developers". Doug Ford promised to be "For the People".
Preliminary Comments on Bill 108: More Homes, More Choice Act
1. Significantly reduces opportunities for public input in planning
- more decision-making at LPAT which ignores Council's decisions where residents had a voice
Read more
The proposal does not give any conditions to improve affordability, it regresses on ability of local municipalities that have well thought out development plans to maintain them and favours developers over communities.
I have already mailed a letter to Ford himself in regards to the destruction this change would cost. But as he is for profit and ignorant to what his people need I will comment here in the hopes those in charge will listen.

I heartily concur with the City of Toronto's nigh-unanimous opposition to Bill 108; and, to the City's issues, concerns, and suggestions regarding Bill 108, particularly as the Bill adversely impacts the Development Charges Act.
