As there aren't many vacant sites sitting undeveloped, it's inevitable that older lower density housing gets replaced. What's your preferred solution to adding the additional homes we need?

Are you saying people homeless in the DTES haven’t been turfed out of their rentals elsewhere in the city over the last ten years? Broadway Plan protections haven’t been tested yet and it remains to be seen how effective they will be.
Solutions aren’t easy but it would have been a start not to approve so many luxury condos for investors in the downtown core over the last 10-15 years. Which drive up land prices to insane levels.
