<p>Thk you, David, for this very important msg.  And if I may say, I think the real estate development planning and approval process is broken / sub-optimal.  And it is at the Ontario provincial level that decision frameworks are set for very
 local decisions.  Back in the day, I spent a lot of time protesting OMB decisions to no avail.  :-(   Anyways, I think the province needs to get out of Municipal decision making.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Thks again, David, for your call to action.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"century schoolbook",serif">Over the past year I have been working with a group of concerned citizens to demand that the developer of a
 hi-rise condo project at the north-west corner of Bloor & Dundas West include a range of affordable units so that the area does not turn into another high income enclave. This site was zoned for about 100 units and the City agreed recently to permit Timbertrin,
 the developer, to build a 27 storey building with 327 units; and the only concession was 26 mid-range affordable units.  This developer and others are making huge profits based on the large increases in units being awarded by the City and the Province. The
 city politicians say that if they don’t agree to the requests of the developers, then the Ford government will use its powers to give them what they want. Most developers are using this situation as an excuse to not consult with neighbourhood groups, and they
 are not open to discussing community amenities for the neighbourhoods that are being impacted.
