Toronto housing advocate Mark Richardson called the pause “unsurprising.”

“Inclusionary zoning has always been something that would only work in a really strong economy, because you are essentially putting the burden of providing the affordable housing units directly on the private landowners.”

Dude is correct. It seems like an interest-free loan from ~~CMHC~~ Build Canada Homes could have been a way to get the affordable housing built.
