Development bid near Scarborough's Guildwood GO Station to be revised

Surplus City of Toronto properties in Scarborough — parking lots at the Victoria Park and Warden subway stations — have been chosen as places where housing, including affordable housing, will be...

• Scarborough community council last July deferred a decision on Podium’s Official Plan and zoning amendment application until the first quarter of 2019. Gary Crawford, local councillor before ward boundaries changed, called the proposal unacceptable.

• After a Feb. 6 community consultation, Podium announced it was withdrawing the application and hoped to resubmit it in April, with revisions. “We have heard that potential alternatives should be explored in order to address comments raised throughout the process to-date,” Christian Huggett, the company’s vice-president development, said in a Feb. 22 letter.

• Ward 24 Coun. Paul Ainslie, who now represents the area due to boundary changes, said he and residents made it clear they didn’t support a 27-storey tower, “and were further concerned with the increase in vehicle traffic, the lack of community benefits, as well as safe pedestrian walkways.”

So people complain about housing not being unaffordable and completely out of reach, then when there's a nice proposal to help solve the problem they come up with garbage like: "the neighborhood is not suited for more children"?

Are they damn serious? I wish we could find a list of the people who made this complaint so we could throw them out of their houses and give people who really need housing a home. That way, the people thrown out could see that they're "not well suited for the city".

Or better yet, if we could hike their rents/mortgage payments by 25% that would be great. We could use their payments to provide affordable housing elsewhere in the city.

Another reminder that this government hates anyone who isn't wealthy. We have a housing crisis, and they're slashing support for affordable housing.

I feel like both buildings here could have easily been 5-7 floors higher, especially the one fronting Kingston.

Back at SCARBOROUGH COUNCIL on September 17th - with a very complicated (ie. "hope to have") 47 x units of new Affordable-Housing...

Agenda Item History - 2021.SC26.1

There's a bunch of blame to pass-around on this site regarding the loss of the Affordable-Housing units on this site over the years, but a LOT of it is caused by the lower-density that City Planning acquiesced to on this site to keep the neighbours happy...
