When I was young and the City of Toronto did something my father didn’t like, he would remark: “Why doesn’t the city just stick to sewers, roads and transit — after all, that’s their job.”Infrastructure is the foundation on which the success of a city is built. And any resident of the GTA, and anybody in the market for a new home, should care about infrastructure. Now is the time to ensure our elected officials make investment, and building of infrastructure, a priority as we head toward a municipal election. With an already very low vacancy rate below 1 per cent, and a housing supply challenge (only 44,000 new homes were built last year) — we need to make housing a priority. That goes hand in hand with making infrastructure a priority.
