For me, what I ❤️ about being a housing advocate, I’m not worried about my biases. Creating meaningful opportunities regardless the number of storeys. Working w/ students that are the very individuals that will build those communities & craft those neighborhoods, #PoliticalWill is the only barrier.

Moment of truth, glad to see @_CreateTO & City adding more density & height to the proposal to add more room for affordable housing. Room silent.

Someday, I want a reporter to ask me what one thing I want 🇨🇦 city councils to do differently so I can say it: "think about land differently." Toronto has come a long way w/ @_CreateTO, but the state of mind that sees land as "not an asset, not an opportunity" still reigns.
