The average price of a home under the Ford Conservatives went up half a million dollars. One of the biggest reasons why housing costs are so high is because demand is much greater than supply. To meet this demand, we’ll get 1.5 million new homes built in Ontario over the next 10 years – doubling the pace of building from the past decade. But it’s not just about building more homes, it’s also how these homes get built and used.

We’ll go after the rules and red-tape that are driving home costs and prices up – and we’ll make it faster and more affordable to get new homes built where people want to live, such as unlocking more provincial land by burying electric transmissions lines and redeveloping underutilized strip malls and offices. We’ll also introduce new taxes on vacant homes in urban areas and developers sitting on land.

The Ford Conservatives ended rent control to help their well-connected friends, making renters’ lives unpredictable and less affordable each year. We’ll prevent sudden rent hikes by reinstating rent control everywhere in Ontario – putting an end to the two-tiered rental market and providing much-needed stability to renters.
