Doug Ford said a province-wide fourplex policy is 'off the table' for his government after weeks of active discussions at Queen’s Park.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is shutting down efforts to introduce fourplexes in neighbourhoods across the province, calling the policy a “massive mistake” that would raise the ire of residents living in traditional single-family suburbs.
“I can assure you 1,000 per cent, you go into communities and start putting up four-storey, six-storey, eight-storey buildings right deep into communities, there’s going to be a lot of shouting and screaming,” Ford said. The report found greenlighting four-unit buildings on a single residential lot as of right would “allow more kinds of housing that are accessible” to a wider range of people.
The policy is one the Ford government has not implemented, even as it struggles to meet its goal of 1.5 million new homes by 2031.‘A great friend’ to the U.S.: Clinton, Bush reflect on Brian Mulroney“We’re going to build homes, single-dwelling homes townhomes, that’s what we’re going to focus on,” Ford said on Thursday.
