Ford seems pretty serious about it in Ontario, freeing up new development land, banning municipalities from holding developers hostage until they pay random art contribution fees and other pet project fees, gutting heritage group powers and other NIMBY bullshit, and granting strong mayor powers. I don’t like the man’s politics generally but I do feel like he is most serious about the housing crisis.
