Please do not move the goalposts for the definition of affordable housing. The housing situation is already unsustainable and such a change will worsen - not help - the people who you claim to serve. Your party platform was "for the people." Here's a great chance to prove it.

The definition of affordable should be based on lowest income, not percentiles in each area. This seems like an obvious ploy by an untrustworthy Government to shine some light on their efforts to make housing affordable, without putting in any real effort.

Please keep the definition of affordable housing as is. 30% of income.
Changing it to reflect the median income of the neighbourhood would mean less mixed housing and most likely less affordable housing.

Seems like "could" help households and "would" incent developers" are the loud words here. The elected government is meant to work for the people of Ontario, not strictly the developers operating here. It's obvious who you care about more, and it's the latter.

This is simply unacceptable. Ontario is experiencing an unprecedented housing affordability crisis. People who make decent wages are struggling to afford rent, pay bills and afford food.

This is just another way for the ford government to put more tax payer money in the hands of their developer friends. Nothing about this proposal will help with affordable housing.
What kind of rental properties do these include?
If a family of 4 with household income of 50k and wants to rent how much would they pay under these new regulations?
Does this family pay the same as a single person person making 50k themselves for the same property?

I believe that the definition of 30% of household income is should be used for Affordable Housing. Tying the definition to market value does not allow for a variety of housing types for everyone to be able to afford them.

Defining "Affordable Housing" at the 60th percentile "in the opinion of" the Minister is not truly affordable housing, so lets call it what it really is.

Recommendations:
Developing consistency in the definition of “affordable housing” across Canada is desirable.
