Can any of the Toronto mayoral candidates fulfill their promises?
One of the most important issues for Torontonians is the lack of proper housing: subsidized housing for the unhoused; affordable housing for the working poor, accessible housing for those in need and options for those who are unable to afford the current high-priced market rates.
The leading candidates in the upcoming mayoral election claim to understand this, and they are all making promises of increased housing opportunities. How they plan to get there will determine how serious and doable their promises are.
But how they plan to finance their promises might be an even bigger problem than the issue of housing itself.
Any candidate who says they would provide any amount of housing without raising taxes, by the way, is just not being realistic. And that is the first problem.
