Twenty-one municipalities will also get new strong mayor powers
EDITOR’S NOTE: A version of this article originally appeared on The Trillium, a new Village Media website devoted to covering provincial politics at Queen’s Park.
Ford also announced that 21 new municipalities — those with populations expected to hit 50,000 by 2031 — will get targets, and strong-mayor powers along with them. All 50 municipalities with targets are listed at the bottom of this piece. The province will need to average 150,000 starts per year in the decade starting from 2021 to hit the government's 1.5-million-home target. The fund is likely partially aimed at sating municipalities frustrated by the Ford government's axing of development charges, paid by builders to local governments, for affordable housing projects.
"I’ve heard this whole song and dance before. Have I ever seen a municipality, have I ever seen a politician — outside of ours — that doesn’t love spending money? You guys love spending money. The municipalities love spending money," Ford said in May. "We don’t have an income problem at the city halls across the province; we have a spending problem. That’s the issue.
