Doug Ford’s government says the Dominion Foundry heritage site must go to create affordable housing. But where’s the plan — and the cash?
This needs to happen, reps for Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark say, because we need more affordable housing. Affordable housing is the reason offered when asked why this work is happening during a stay-at-home order. But I have some issues with the story that this hasty demolition of heritage is really about affordable housing. Any serious affordable housing plan has to include cash for fixing up the existing stock of subsidized housing. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...None of this fiscal track record is consistent with a government that is just so darn motivated by affordable housing they can’t let heritage buildings stand in the way.
