Housing

More Housing is Coming, no matter who is elected

Candidates' housing plans addressing these issues may be influenced by external factors, such as government mandates, rather than purely altruistic intentions.

While this demonstrates strategic political positioning and opportunistic campaigning, it also raises questions about the ethical nature of such an approach

Mississauga's Housing Debate

In this Video we discuses the issue that when City Hall talks about housing, they blur the lines and use terms like affordable housing instead of attainable housing, or available housing, which does not specifically address the need for "affordable housing." This can be problematic.

When City Hall uses vague terms, they might not be addressing the specific needs of those struggling to find affordable places to live. This could lead to a lack of support for those who need it most, such as homeless individuals or people with low-paying jobs.

It is time to change our understanding of Housing.

The Fourplex Failure

In this video, we delve into the topic of the 2023 failure for the construction of fourplexes in the city.

The city councilor's that presented this and denied the proposal are now running for mayor of Mississauga with Housing being one of their priorities, citing themselves as decision-makers with leadership qualities. But considering the Mayor had to intervene with the Strong Mayor's Power to get this approved, it seems apparent that none of them possesses this ability.

It can be a gamechanger.

From Napkin Idea to Final Product, and where Mississauga gets it wrong

In Mississauga, good ideas often falter not due to their merit, but bureaucratic hurdles and mismanagement. It's not about bad ideas, but the journey from conception to execution.
