    Quick post on how Ontario cities are simultaneously:

    1. Flagrantly disregarding Ontario's 1.5 million housing target (and the need for more homes) AND

    2. Keeping development charges artificially high

      The fact that it's Windsor feels particularly relevant to me, as the Mayor of Windsor is the co-chair of the provincial government's Housing Supply Action Plan Implementation Team.

      In short, Ontario cities continue to fail to take the housing crisis seriously.

      Windsor has also been in the news recently for their proposed development charge hikes:

      "single-family homes would increase to $76,543 each (up 151 per cent), and to $117,086 for Sandwich South lands (up 145 per cent)."

      If you look at the background study used to calculate these development charges, you find something interesting: It's based on only having 9,530 housing starts over 10 years.

      That's a lot less than 13,000.

      This matters for 2 reasons:

      1. It shows Windsor isn't planning on hitting the provincial target
      2. This lower forecast keeps development charges higher than they otherwise would be

      DCs are calculated by taking planned infrastructure spend and dividing it over the planned number of housing starts. Increase planned starts, and you're spreading that cost over more homes; cost per home falls.

      The Ontario government has assigned 50 cities 10-year housing targets. Toronto's is 285,000, Hamilton and London's are 47,000 each, Woodstock's is 5,500 etc.

      Windsor's is 13,000.
