      > Ontario’s final tally for housing starts in 2024 is well off what’s needed to achieve Premier Doug Ford’s goal of getting 1.5 million homes built, even with various new categories the government is adding such as university dorms.

      Ontario is on track for 660,000 homes. And this number is the more „expansive“ definition of home, which includes long term care beds and university residences.

      I think there is some merit in including a more expansive definition of home. Ontario (and Canada) doesn’t just need more homes, it also needs more long term care beds, or retirement complexes, and student residences. However, let’s be real, the only reason Ford is including these starts is because his numbers would be even worse without them. It is a political, not a principled choice.

      By housing, they mean condos, lol .

      Our municipal, provincal, and federal governments Iniated a condo boom within a national housing shortage . It’s now correcting naturally so we should try to come up with a national agreeance that doesn’t repeat this same error when we can stimulate steady long term demand for multi aspects of the same housing crisis for the next decade .

      I check on the stats every month or so. Alberta has out-started Ontario in 3 out of 5 months so far in 2025. So unless something drastic happens, this story next year will be even worse.

      They aren’t building any Row and Semi-detached units anymore and apartments/condos have fallen off a cliff which was what was propping them up for years.

      For all the talk of how the new regulations will change neighborhoods. No one seems to be even attempting to transform single family into 4-plexes. I’ve yet to find a consistent source that keeps track of infill permits
